Samson and Delilah
April 26, 1977
Capitol Theater
Not just a straightforward rocker. Keith adds an icy contrast to Jerry’s fire while the drummers up the tension.

Cassidy

Greek Theater
Sparkling version. Worth your attention as you savor the perfect Oade AUD.

Let It Grow
June 14, 1985
Greek Theater
Spectacular depth, detail, and feeling. Drummers drive the transitions, while Jerry offers cool rhythmic variations.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 5, 1969
Fillmore West
Exploratory transition jam! Very different from most early versions. Has that anarchic ’60s energy.

St. Stephen
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East
It was too played on this date.
Foolish Heart
March 20, 1991
Capital Centre
Just enchanting. Jerry and Bruce harmonize on a unique, trancelike outro that itself is a clever variation on the signature riff(s).
Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum
Are you kidding me?! Hot! August - September ’80 is terrific, one of the brightest points of the entire decade.
Me and My Uncle
May 24, 1972
Strand Lyceum
Jerry lets himself get carried away to great results.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 4, 1990
Sandstone Amphitheatre
The transition is abrupt, and Jer messes up some of the lyrics. If you can get past that, this is a great version! Both halves are played with panache and are stuffed with interesting passages.
