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!!

So true! Number one, but still needs more love, out of respect for what Jerry (and the entire gang) pulls off here... Packs a ridiculous punch!! When folks ask, How did Primal Dead rock? Play this. If you’re sorta new to the Dead, have a listen. For the love of Lorna Dune.... Under 50 votes on the 50th anniversary still feels a little criminal.

Beast of a Sugaree from a beast of a show.
