He's Gone

Onondaga Auditorium

Comes out of Estimated, nice & subdued in the beginning. The bluesy jam leading into the Other One is worth a listen. Brent is the man on this one

Samson and Delilah
Sept. 12, 1987
Capital Centre

Hot and heady Samson coming out of a Cumberland 2nd Set Opener - drummers and Brent are especially on

Don't Ease Me In

Nassau Coliseum

Punchy Spring '90 version - practically every "Dough Knees" from this period is a rocker

Jerry goes off and Phil really cranks it up near the end. Absolutely wonderful all around

Playin' In The Band
July 17, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds

No major meltdown but a nice and mellow PITB that segues into China>Rider. Very rare transition indeed - perhaps the band was trying to spice things up a bit
Row Jimmy
Oct. 28, 1985
Fox Theater

Have to agree with the last comment, starts out mediocre but as it chugs along it hits the sweet spot
Dark Star
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

6/8 Jam similar to many others, such as that found in the Other One on 7/1/73. Most definetely the highlight of the show - truly makes this Dark Star fantastic
Feel Like A Stranger
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Very laid back compared to earlier Spring '90 versions. Laid back show as a whole but the energy is still fantastic Edit - its been released officially (~):)
