Bob is heavy in the mix, but still a great version

Great early version

He's Gone

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Beautiful 73 version, outro jam is especially juicy. Leads into a Truckin’ that is equally underrated.

Gentle, mellow version, leading into a great Spoonful. Check out the video on YouTube

Samson and Delilah
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

Jerry nearly bursts into flames several times during this one! Look for the FM broadcast SBD on the archive. It has rougher, more energetic feel than the Dick's Picks version.
Brokedown Palace

Oklahoma City Music Hall

A nearly flawless rendition. Give this one a listen, you won't be disappointed.
Truckin'
Sept. 28, 1975
Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

The AUD version is so hot it's molten. Some flubs early on but the crescendo and outro jam are spectacular. Highly recommended.

Great American Music Hall

Super fast, super-charged, and totally awesome version! One time I was wide-eyed and asked my friend, "Do you wanna know what cocaine sounds like?" Then I played this song and we both totally lost it.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pacific Coliseum

The interplay during the transition is beyond stellar. 100% on point, my personal favorite version of China>Rider.
