Boston Garden

"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

Hampton Coliseum

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

Wharf Rat
Oct. 16, 1974
Winterland Arena

Very jazzy Wharf Rat, possibly best of '74?
Wharf Rat
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

Best wharf intro? At least of '73-'74 period?
Foolish Heart
Aug. 13, 1991
Cal Expo

Arguably one of the most solid versions of Foolish on every level imaginable
Dear Mr. Fantasy
July 6, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Interesting to note that Jerry sings the first few lyrics without Brent - not sure how many times this has happened
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 28, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

The jam in between is to die for - might be my favorite S>F from the mid 80's. + Bobby is just killing it. The SBD mix is perfect
