Walking Blues
April 27, 1991
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

Samson and Delilah
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

Samson and Delilah
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

Bobby decimated the vocals on this one, hot hot hot
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

The band crushes this one, Jerry kills vocally. A wonderful farewell tribute to Brent. To Lay Me Down>Promised Land is not to be missed either
St. Stephen
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

The outro jam into the wheel might be one of the best of the '76 Stephen's. Nice minute long Stephen tease in Playin' right beforehand too
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

Magnificent H>S>F. It flows in the groovy '76 way, hits just right. The band is locked in, cannot get any better than this, alongside the fantastic board quality
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Great Estimated, nice Jerry jam last three or so minutes
