Sunrise

Baltimore Civic Center

Pure Donna vocals, and raging Garcia solo before the last verse. Donna sounds great throughout this entire show—it's a real smoker.

NOT just another '77 version. BIG bridge solo, pure Jerry/Donna backing vocals, scary Mutron solo into Eyes. One of the best.

Samson and Delilah

Baltimore Civic Center

NOT just another '77 version. Insanely-tight jamming, 2nd set opener, KEITH, JERRY, PHIL! Best version I've heard.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

Out of Half-Step opener of the last show of Brent's first tour with the band. Love his early '79 keys sound.

Perfectly played from start to finish.

Winterland Arena

I can confirm that Jerry and the band were completely whacked for this show. If you ever get the chance, check out the liner notes from the Winterland '77 boxed set. There is a photo of Bobby...you must see. 8~0

HOLY COW.

Not a fan of this song really, but this one is just exactly perfect.
