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
March 30, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

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

New Minglewood Blues

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

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

Spacey Fried Goodness!
Samson and Delilah
Feb. 4, 1978
Milwaukee Auditorium

Awesome Samson, gets somehow even more smokin' after the 5 min mark
Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Weaving in and out of the Playin'/Main Ten theme throughout this one. Might be mistaken but this is the longest/one of the longer Playin's on the E72 tour
Dark Star

Tivolis Koncertsal

Lovely, dynamic and engaging DS. Big fan of when you can hear everyone clearly and how they each drive the jams.
The Other One
Aug. 26, 1971
Gaelic Park

When people talk about "Phil-led" shows and songs, this is what they mean. Excellent Other One
