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.

Fillmore West
Practically flawless early version played with focus and intensity.

He's Gone
Oct. 9, 1977
McNichols Arena
This is really good. The tempo doesn’t drag, the harmonies are sweet, and the outro is explosive, albeit short. Check out the whole sequence from Estimated on.
He's Gone
Oct. 21, 1972
Vanderbilt University
Good god!!! This is incredible.
Weather Report Suite
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum
Felt compelled to note — the Prelude > Part 1 is exceptional. (Nothing against the Let It Grow, of course!)
Candyman
Aug. 29, 1980
The Spectrum
Virtually note perfect … and yes, Jerry’s in great voice, as he is throughout this underrated tour.
Dark Star
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre
Avant-garde even by the standards of 1972. What a beautiful mindfuck. I just love it.
