"It's a little tune in honor of this building" - rockin' Samson set opener

Berkeley Community Theatre

Sweet show opener where the *whole* band is on - even as an AUD only you can clearly hear the entire band

Spanish Jam
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

A rare Spanish Jam without Jerry, but Bobby, Brent, and Phil make it sweet nonetheless

Short but blazing - a personal favorite. Brent's Hammond truly makes this shine. He's Gone>O1 is just such an awesome combo

Ramble On Rose

Shoreline Amphitheatre

This one deserves more love. Everyone in the band is all over this one. Really love Bobby and Bruce's accents and licks to the song especially
Samson and Delilah

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Jerry has traded his soul to the devil in order to play this scorcher of a Samson.

The Centrum

Very unique intro jam as they come out of Terrapin, takes them over a minute just to reach the pre-verse climax at the start
He's Gone
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Ohhh man :) so groovy
Shakedown Street
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

This one has all the spunk and funk you want - '81 is a great year for Shakedown. Everybody is nice and clear on the AUD
