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

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

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
March 15, 1990
Capital Centre

The crowd chants "We want Phil! We want Phil!..." for his birthday; and he and the boys happily oblige the request. They nail this one. RIP Brent and Jerry
Uncle John's Band

Capitol Theater

Nice pun and well sung
Looks Like Rain
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

The holy grail of LLR outros
Row Jimmy
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

Extremely delicate version. Precise in every note. Playing together like five (seven?) fingers on a hand. Better than 3/20/77 imho
Deal
May 6, 1978
Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

Garcia is feeling himself!! Wicked fast version
