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

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

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

Shakedown Street

You don't know funk until you've heard this magnificent Shakedown. Out of Playin', a rare and special treat
Dark Star

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

To add on to Bcarters comment, there is a lovely medley around 8-11 min into Dark Star where they flow from MLB jam>Other One jam>DS first verse. Very cool indeed
