AUD only but fire! Not totally smoking but its heady for sure. The Dead opening for Hendrix can't get any better than that

One of the finest Samson's I've heard - Jerry is especially killing it. Second song of the first set says it all. DONT SKIP bc it's an AUD only show

Very solid playing wise, the last Hornsby one I believe. Lyrics might be stumbled here or there but really good, one of the best of the New Speedway Boogie revival versions
