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

Samson and Delilah
March 28, 1989
The Omni

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

Rosemont Horizon

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

Victim Or The Crime
Sept. 18, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Long intro to this one - as time went on it seems that the band, especially Jerry, were beginning to grow fond of the dark space that Victim provided.
Loser
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

A rare post-'72 Sweet Suzy - solo ain't as bad as Bignoze says IMO. Lots of beautiful interplay as stated before. Vocals are definetely up there with best of '74
China Doll
Dec. 30, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Excellent version with flawless outro into A&A. The only NFA>China Doll I believe
Stella Blue
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

The outro, though cut, is one of the most solid for the period. You can tell it's going somewhere heady
Promised Land
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

Really rockin' version to open the second set
