He's Gone
May 17, 1981
Onondaga Auditorium

Comes out of Estimated, nice & subdued in the beginning. The bluesy jam leading into the Other One is worth a listen. Brent is the man on this one

Samson and Delilah
Sept. 12, 1987
Capital Centre

Hot and heady Samson coming out of a Cumberland 2nd Set Opener - drummers and Brent are especially on

Don't Ease Me In
March 30, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Punchy Spring '90 version - practically every "Dough Knees" from this period is a rocker

New Minglewood Blues
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Jerry goes off and Phil really cranks it up near the end. Absolutely wonderful all around

Saint of Circumstance
April 5, 1991
The Omni

Wow really out there soaring Saint of Circumstance. The jam almost sounds like the one in Cassidy. Ultramatrix is great but I personally like the Oade AUD
China Doll
Nov. 2, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

Fine little Playin' jam at the very end - check out the Oade AUD
Wharf Rat
Sept. 18, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Where is the love for this show?? I know it's better on paper but it's not played poorly - average at worst. Fun show with a heartfelt wharf rat
Ramble On Rose
Oct. 28, 1985
Fox Theater

Jerry kicks rose into top gear. Excellent 80's version
Comes A Time
June 25, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Dreamy - floats along after two minutes of beautiful space teasing Comes a Time. Summer '91 hardly disappoints!
