Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw

Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

The old encore favorite is executed with both ease and precision. Clean, bright Brokedown here.

How did I fail to give this version its due on any of my previous listens? This outro is beyond description.

Musikhalle

Immaculate short version, and notably well sung.

I’ve been listening to this one for almost 20 years, and I’ve never loved it more. Words fail. I’m not sure it’s my favorite DS, but I think I might like it better than every version currently ranked higher.

I love the end jam on this. As he is elsewhere this run, Jerry is showing incredible guitar finesse and mastery.
