Liquid fire jamming

Feel Like A Stranger

Meadowlands Arena

Super tight, and funky version. Contender for best of 84'.

Estimated Prophet
Dec. 16, 1994
Sports Arena

This estimated prophet is wild, intense, and as wicked as they come. With Branford Marsalis, the jam is almost as cosmic as a Dark Star.

Samson and Delilah
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

As is the case with nearly all 1977 versions, this Samson and Delilah is huge and each member provides an energetic presence.

Davis Gym, Bucknell University

Early version of the song, but definitely finding its way nicely, a great mellow version that is jammed 10+ min.

Awesome Phil is a madman in this
Morning Dew
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Wicked dark star<dew, no question this is one of the best versions of the year. The range of sound is incredible They play as soft and as loud as they can and balance the song perfectly providing an absolutely perfect final crescendo.
Sugaree
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Polished and ripping version from a great dicks pick.
Wharf Rat
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

IMHO the song can't get much better then how they played it on this night. Whole show presents the band in top form and this rat is right up there with the truckin' as the highlights from the performance.
