The Sportatorium

At times pretty, at times a little weird, but somewhere past 8 minutes, it's downright gorgeous...

Wow. Opens the 2nd set in the best year of the Wheel... Donna was awesome! This tune was hers in '76....

Hell in a Bucket
Nov. 6, 1987
Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Fantastic Eyes, nearly as rip-roaring as the Eyes from 11/4/77 Colgate, which might be best Eyes of '77 (and one of the best Eyes ever, even without the Stronger than Slipknot Codas of '73-'74). This entire show is so ridiculously great, and this Eyes drifts beautifully into a blistering Dancing-Wharf-Franklin's-SugMags. Top-notch versions, all!! Entire show and entire March Winterland '77 run is really really powerful...
Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Listen to the roar at the opening notes... So crazy, out of Touch, and then it stands alone.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Shredded Wharf Rat. From an absurdly ridiculous show.
Dark Star
Sept. 21, 1972
The Spectrum

Those last 7 minutes of MLB will pull you right out of the wildness of a very deep and dark Dark Star. Followed by a wonderful Dew! Another great show!
Not Fade Away
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Another great show from the Fall '87 tour.
