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

Playin' In The Band
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Came to add how masterful the Reprise after UJB is, really excellent stuff
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

First Brent Era China Rider, starts off on a high. Audience is really into it
Shakedown Street
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Really solid version, with good AUD's out there. Long and funky
Samson and Delilah
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Just to add more, probably one of the finest Samson's of '79. Band is completely gelled together by the second set, complete fire with this one. Band sounds really great on the Glassberg AUD
Samson and Delilah
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts
