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.

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.

Mason's Children
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East
Easily one of the tightest, fiercest versions of the song I’ve heard.
Deal
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden
I expect that this one will get a lot more votes after people hear the official release. It’s fiery and also has excellent phrasing and more Phil than some early ’80s shows.
Space
Aug. 6, 1982
St. Paul Civic Center
This is an incredible Space, both because of the Other One/Eleven jam and because of the meltdown before.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Aug. 6, 1982
St. Paul Civic Center
Fantastic second set!
Promised Land
June 22, 1976
Tower Theatre
Jerry’s playing is extremely exuberant on this one! Great version of the best Berry tune.
