Maybe not the most exploratory but it's clear the band is having fun - solid 80's version

Samson and Delilah
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

Bobby decimated the vocals on this one, hot hot hot
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

The band crushes this one, Jerry kills vocally. A wonderful farewell tribute to Brent. To Lay Me Down>Promised Land is not to be missed either
St. Stephen
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

The outro jam into the wheel might be one of the best of the '76 Stephen's. Nice minute long Stephen tease in Playin' right beforehand too
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

Magnificent H>S>F. It flows in the groovy '76 way, hits just right. The band is locked in, cannot get any better than this, alongside the fantastic board quality
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Great Estimated, nice Jerry jam last three or so minutes
