Samson and Delilah
June 25, 1978
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Hard-drivin ‘78 Samson. Drummers are on fire. Bobby breaks out his slide for the second break

Pretty Peggy O
June 25, 1978
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Passionate vocals! Garcia plays some extremely unique leads during the instrumental - seems to go on a longer longer than usual by ‘78 standards.

It Must Have Been The Roses
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

Perfect version of Roses. Delicately sung by Garcia and piano from Keith. The solo is extra long and unique. Has a "mission in the rain" feel to it.

C. C. Rider
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

Really cool 2nd set CC Rider. Gritty and bluesy. Garcia plays some unique chords at the end

Ship of Fools
July 5, 1981
Zoo Amphitheater

Well sung and Brent tickles the ivories, creating the feeling of a ship at sea. Most importantly, Garcia's solo is emotion in every bend of a string

Uptown Theater

Definitely a heady version. Clocks in at over 11 minutes
He's Gone
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Bobby’s harmony on “you know better but I know him” ⚡️
He's Gone
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

The very best and most unique ending! Phil's runs are pure bliss.
Jack Straw
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

This is IT. Better than the no 1 and all the rest, Garcia plays his soul on the instrumental break
Don't Ease Me In

Capital Centre

Sleeper ripper
