Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

You Win Again

Jahrhunderthalle

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Saint of Circumstance

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

Boston Garden

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Very nice full band peak on this. Brent rips. Great way to open a show!
Samson and Delilah
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

CHURCH! Brent lays into the jam nicely
Bird Song
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

War Memorial

I may be crazy, but it sounds like Jerry is hinting at St Stephen licks during the peak
