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
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

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

Feel Like A Stranger
April 4, 1991
The Omni

LTGTR>Stranger Opener, classic. If you're not a fan of the Vince sound this might be a little off but its HOT regardless
Loose Lucy
Dec. 27, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Strong West Coast (best coast) Loose Lucy. Really builds up till the end, wonderful version
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 24, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Phil leads the band. Everyone contributes which can be a bit overwhelming but a nice straightforward China>Rider nonetheless
