Greatest Story Ever Told

Glenns Falls Civic Center

Brent's First, the official revival of this song. Bobby forgets some end lyrics but just repeats the first verses to save face. Great Jerry jamming

The Other One
Dec. 13, 1992
Oakland Coliseum

Slithers out of space & into Dew. Not very intense but Jerry is on it 100%

Samson and Delilah

Knickerbocker Arena

One of the worst Samson intros ever; clunky start, band discombobulated, Bobby throwing out lyrics at the wrong pace. Settles down in the second half

Star Lake Amphitheater

Excellent Vinnie era rendition of this early Dead tune. Last one of '92 - these became exceedingly rare in this time period

Playin' In The Band

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
