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

Samson and Delilah

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

Superb transition from space into this classic Traffic cover - nailed just right on all levels

The Other One

Onondaga Auditorium

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

Boston Garden

Vocally one of the most passionate and the playing is fantastic - just listen to Keith!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 25, 1985
Springfield Civic Center

Truly fantastic Slipknot - deserves a lot of love
Samson and Delilah
July 10, 1981
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Lovely audio recording of this one
New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 16, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Vince solo is awesome - the two keyboards are fully integrated into the band at this point
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

Horn solo beginning around the 7 min mark is actually quite fun and funky. Not as much crazy improv + the band is still learning to groove with/around the horns but excellent and interesting, especially when the horns are nailed (and don't sound like a circus gone wrong)
