My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

One word: dynamics, something sorely lacking in a lot of late day Dead. Every subtle nuance, every modulation, every bit of pathos is nailed here. Nothing is left to chance, the band hits the bullseye. Jerry's voice is so good in the beginning, especially when he goes for a softer tone. Perfect performance. The 25th anniversary will be here before we know it, so rev up those upvotes.

The drummers are really so on this whole show.
Samson and Delilah

Oakland Coliseum Arena

This version really cooks. Bob has fire in the belly and Jerry is possessed.

Such a tight, clean show. One of the best ever!
