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

Fantastic band interplay on this one and Jerry's vocals are so soulful. Not a big fan of Peggy but this one cant be skipped. Chasingwilma AUD is great

Samson and Delilah

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 :)

Odd as it's the first song of the set, but this is actually a pretty nice Cassidy. Frost is a great place to space your face

Excellent, highly underrated. The recent AUDs are hot for this show
