Community War Memorial Auditorium

Stunning. Chronically underrated song in a chronically underrated year: Listen to Jerry blaze through this like a man with 100 fingers.

Note for note brilliant. Jerry is blazing over the band with one brilliant line after another. Great set capper.

Solid emotionally charged version with a great balanced soundboard right as the Fall tour kicks into blistering hot gear.

Fall of '76 is peak time for Samsons, and this one just struts. Great feeling for this under-the-radar show.

Peak musicianship and total communication of the band at one of their most telepathic moments as a group. Jerry's vox is sublime.

Heartbreaking waltz tempo: Last dance in Texas; farewell desperado. Sweet and lovely. Thanks for the links DarkStar67!

Bobby's got a snarl that just exudes violence. I love this version and the surf-punk cowboy sound that was still part of the Danger Dead sound.

Hot Goddamn, that just rips. A crescendo of energy and power, it builds up to a beautiful peak.
