Are you kidding? This is one of the best Big Rivers I've heard. Phil, Jerry, what else can I say? Crank it up

Fantastic jam. Everyone looks alive. Bobby and Brent drive it.

Samson and Delilah
May 8, 1979
Recreation Hall - Penn State University

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

Rousing version, Jerry and Brent on fire

Great version with an exceptional Jerry solo. Listen to him begin the second chorus
Bird Song
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Brilliant long jam, from crashing to quiet. Listen to Brent and Jerry.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

This version really creeps up on you. Phil and the drummers are locked in. Then you hear how into it Jerry is, and how well Bobby is singing. Then it's over.
All Along the Watchtower

Park West Ski Resort

Jerry does something special in the middle of this. Worth a listen and laugh.
