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!!

Yep. That jam builds like a majestic Grateful Dead Bolero, from the minute they stop singing, around 2 minutes in, for the next 12 minutes or so, and when Weir comes back, singing, it's just a beautiful thing.... we just don't want it to end. So again, if you can... please, PLAY IT LOUD.

Exactly right. Most have heard it, but if you have not..... please.... PLAY IT LOUD. Technically could still be the anniversary since everyone who was there were still feeling it at this time, 50 years ago.... I suppose... Some are probably still feeling it today....!!
Viola Lee Blues

Harpur College

What a way to end a masterpiece of a night. Slips into a short, sweet space/feedback and they Bid us Goodnight. One of the greatest shows of all time. Pure, primordial acid rock. After 50 years it still ain't grown old....
