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

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

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

The Wheel
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

Wheel>Samson transition unbelievably smooth and beautiful. Must be heard at least once by all Heads
Samson and Delilah
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

Excellent early version - solid as can be. And yes, Phil bombs galore
The Other One
Jan. 18, 1979
Providence Civic Center

Blazing version out of Truckin'. Jerry gets real jammy in this one. The final uninterrupted He's Gone > Truckin' > Other One. End of an era for sure
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Short but sweet Slipknot
The Other One
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

The eternal twin of the 5/17/81 Other One. Short but fiery - truly heady. Brent kills
