He's Gone
May 17, 1981
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
March 30, 1990
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

Mile High Stadium

When this show inevitably gets released this will finally get the love and attention it deserves. For now, rest easy my child with only 5 votes
The Other One
Sept. 21, 1973
The Spectrum

Underrated as hell. The whole sequence of He's Gone>Truckin'>O1>Wharf>Row Jimmy deserves to be heard in its entirety
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 21, 1991
Capital Centre

Extremely solid show opener - vocals and playing are on point
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It should be criminal to open a show with this much funtastic energy
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Exquisite jam in between leading up to Rider - March of '81 has some great China>IKYR's
