AUD only but fire! Not totally smoking but its heady for sure. The Dead opening for Hendrix can't get any better than that

Fantastic band interplay on this one and Jerry's vocals are so soulful. Not a big fan of Peggy but this one cant be skipped. Chasingwilma AUD is great

One of the finest Samson's I've heard - Jerry is especially killing it. Second song of the first set says it all. DONT SKIP bc it's an AUD only show

Estimated>Spoonful, one of two ever played. Jerry tries to link it together but it's a bit abrupt. Definitely fun though :)

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

Underrated as hell. The whole sequence of He's Gone>Truckin'>O1>Wharf>Row Jimmy deserves to be heard in its entirety
