Samson and Delilah
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

I think every Deadhead should start at TMNS to end the first set, hear that ball of energy coming out of Jerry's guitar and then bask in this Touch>Samson. EPIC sound that marked a great moment for the Dead and captured so well on the latest Dave's Picks. Some of the best crowd noise I've ever heard to go along with this stellar music
