Overlooked, patient little gemerald.

Bright, snappy, and full of mello P&V.

April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Yes - DL No. 4 is a winner.
Mister Charlie

Berkeley Community Theater

And, as always at this time, the bass is a big ol' tulip poplar. Mediciney & woozy.
Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

A unique version that cooks like hell.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Kreutzmann's saunter into the song already makes it special. Garcia tapping across the soundstage like Bob Fosse. And aural version.
Samson and Delilah
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Think this is a nice version - intense, no big 1978 sloppiness. Blistering at times. This stands up. I'm PRO!
