A rare and different tune. Real nice transition into epic Playin-UJB from Go to Nassau...

Stunned this ain't here yet. Next night is a famous one. But this 2nd set opener is strong and rugged. Nice moment at "born to be a bachelor..."

Madison Square Garden

Wow! Can't believe this hasn't made the cut yet. Rips and roars out of poignant China Doll. Almost become a Smokestack... Super strong show!

DeadBase calls it a Dark Star Jam. There is not much of a hint of a Dark Star-ish melody, and the date is debatable. But everyone needs to hear this!!

Scorching!
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Fantastic show with excellent Scarlet-Fire, amazing Samson but... no Eyes, which is a darn shame because it would have been awesome for sure! Maybe it's the 2/3/78 version in Madison, WI, which is pretty darn great...
All Along the Watchtower
Sept. 20, 1991
Boston Garden

Followed by a gorgeous Dew. Great 1st set too!
