(1) The first few bars of Dark Star are missing and at the end of it, Phil says "Leave the light on, will ya?", then a few more notes, and China Cat starts.

(2) The first few notes of Cryptical are missing. 

(3) After the first Cryptical, there is no Drums intro to The Other One. This show is the first with the standard Other One lyrics - however, Bobby does flub them a bit:  A Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this rose It rainbows, spirals round and round, it trembles and explodes It left my mind, crater of a mind..., what the hey And the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day  I was skipping through the lilly fields, when I came across an empty space It quivered and exploded, left a bus stop in its place The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began There was Cowboy Neal, at the wheel, of a bus to never-ever land  It's the rose from the Spanish lady that rainbows, spirals, trembles and explodes - instead of the rainbow spiraling, trembling, and exploding. Bob Weir stated in an interview that after they got back from this tour they found out that Neal Cassady had died on 
this night. 

(4) This Jam sounds like a Spanish Jam, but it is rather rough, and it is Phil playing the lead part that Jerry would normally play, with appropriate drums and organ flourishes.
