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..."

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!!

Truly gorgeous Dew.

This show might not look like much on paper, with Childhood's End, Matilda (first time for both) Samba, Corrina, etc. But... the bridge from Corrina into Matilda is excellent, the Dew is wonderful, and the entire show really works beautifully.

This one is ridiculous, as are so many Deals of '94!!! Almost like a Sugaree of '77.... Works just about every time!

This one is listed twice so the votes might be diluted. Excellent late era Dew. Could use more votes!
