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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

This version is played at a slightly different tempo, and Bobby makes some little changes to his solo. Very tight and peppy performance. This whole show is under the radar, with some intense second set playing.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 23, 1995
Charlotte Coliseum

Bruce and Vince really drive this.
Wharf Rat
Dec. 28, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Also the performance where Jerry yells "QUIET" to Keith when he's banging away on the piano during the "but I'll get back" bridge.
Dancin' in the Streets

Boston Music Hall

Fall into the Phil Zone.
He's Gone
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

The solo before the bridge is particularly remarkable. Garcia really works it.
