Walking Blues

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Excellent Walkin' Blues from the Dueling Keyboard era - an exemplar of '91

Brokedown Palace
March 19, 1995
The Spectrum

Encore at show that premiered Unbroken Chain live. A warm, coherent, and emotional Brokedown in an era of mediocrity. RIP Jerry

March 28, 1989
The Omni

Solid Set Opener, not as intense as later versions in the year but excellent nonetheless

Not Fade Away
Dec. 6, 1981
Rosemont Horizon

Out of a spectacular space comes this masterpiece, chock full of jamming - descends into a great Wharf Rat

Ramble On Rose

Shoreline Amphitheatre

This one deserves more love. Everyone in the band is all over this one. Really love Bobby and Bruce's accents and licks to the song especially
Samson and Delilah
Sept. 27, 1976
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Jerry has traded his soul to the devil in order to play this scorcher of a Samson.
Samson and Delilah
Oct. 8, 1984
The Centrum

Very unique intro jam as they come out of Terrapin, takes them over a minute just to reach the pre-verse climax at the start
He's Gone
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Ohhh man :) so groovy
Shakedown Street
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

This one has all the spunk and funk you want - '81 is a great year for Shakedown. Everybody is nice and clear on the AUD
