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

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 :)

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

Jerry has traded his soul to the devil in order to play this scorcher of a Samson.

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

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
