Boston Garden

"It's a little tune in honor of this building" - rockin' Samson set opener

Samson and Delilah
March 10, 1985
Berkeley Community Theatre

Sweet show opener where the *whole* band is on - even as an AUD only you can clearly hear the entire band

Spanish Jam
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

A rare Spanish Jam without Jerry, but Bobby, Brent, and Phil make it sweet nonetheless

Dear Mr. Fantasy

Hampton Coliseum

Superb transition from space into this classic Traffic cover - nailed just right on all levels

The Other One
May 17, 1981
Onondaga Auditorium

Short but blazing - a personal favorite. Brent's Hammond truly makes this shine. He's Gone>O1 is just such an awesome combo

The Wheel
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

Wheel>Samson transition unbelievably smooth and beautiful. Must be heard at least once by all Heads
Samson and Delilah
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

Excellent early version - solid as can be. And yes, Phil bombs galore
The Other One
Jan. 18, 1979
Providence Civic Center

Blazing version out of Truckin'. Jerry gets real jammy in this one. The final uninterrupted He's Gone > Truckin' > Other One. End of an era for sure
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Short but sweet Slipknot
The Other One
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

The eternal twin of the 5/17/81 Other One. Short but fiery - truly heady. Brent kills
