"Tomorrow's Sunday, we're not gonna be here, so we're going to take advantage of today to give you some inspirational words of advice" Smokin' Samson

Greatest Story Ever Told

Glenns Falls Civic Center

Brent's First, the official revival of this song. Bobby forgets some end lyrics but just repeats the first verses to save face. Great Jerry jamming

The Other One

Oakland Coliseum

Slithers out of space & into Dew. Not very intense but Jerry is on it 100%

Samson and Delilah

Knickerbocker Arena

One of the worst Samson intros ever; clunky start, band discombobulated, Bobby throwing out lyrics at the wrong pace. Settles down in the second half

Star Lake Amphitheater

Excellent Vinnie era rendition of this early Dead tune. Last one of '92 - these became exceedingly rare in this time period

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
April 14, 1972
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

Gaelic Park

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