AUD only but fire! Not totally smoking but its heady for sure. The Dead opening for Hendrix can't get any better than that

One of the finest Samson's I've heard - Jerry is especially killing it. Second song of the first set says it all. DONT SKIP bc it's an AUD only show

Estimated>Spoonful, one of two ever played. Jerry tries to link it together but it's a bit abrupt. Definitely fun though :)

Awesome Samson, gets somehow even more smokin' after the 5 min mark

Strand Lyceum

Weaving in and out of the Playin'/Main Ten theme throughout this one. Might be mistaken but this is the longest/one of the longer Playin's on the E72 tour

Lovely, dynamic and engaging DS. Big fan of when you can hear everyone clearly and how they each drive the jams.

When people talk about "Phil-led" shows and songs, this is what they mean. Excellent Other One
