China Doll
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Hits a moment of near complete silence. A beautiful segue from eyes into china doll.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Really fun latter day version. I believe it is the second to last played. The boys get into it, and reassure the crowd they arent quite done yet.

Samson and Delilah
Dec. 16, 1992
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rippin' version. Some dialed in rage from Jerry coming with some ferocious solos.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
Dec. 16, 1992
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Bobby gets into it, in great fashion. A quick charge through a Dylan Cover. Bursting energy throughout

Not Fade Away
June 4, 1977
The Forum

Absolutely nuts version. Twice as fast as usual, I would stack this up with cornell.

The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Immediately comes to mind when looking for a monster rendition. Flowing and super raging.
St. Stephen
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Power in full swinging abundance. Not the longest version but packs a strong punch. Segues out of an altogether dimension eclipsing Dark Star, and segues into a mad Eleven with huge peaks and Garcia butane fuel jamming.
Caution
Feb. 24, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

This version is sick. Lightning tempos, and ferocious psychedelic jamming.
Franklin's Tower
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Very mellow, and the beginning lead in is sincerely and concisely played. Nearly 17 minutes of sweet action.
Big River
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Keith and Jerry absolutely crush this.
