U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Samson and Delilah
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

Surprised not to find this here.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Must-hear jamming. Unbelievable power and energy. Pig adds a whole other level to the following Feedback.

Pure blues.

Patient, perfectly built version. One of the best.

Branford's solo is good, even Bobby's slide solo is better than average (although Bruce steps on him and then doesn't continue supporting). Gotta love this big three-segue opener.
