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

Nassau Coliseum

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

Promised Land
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Killer Promised Land
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 7, 1979
Indiana Convention Center

The transition from the faster paced dynamic Eyes of the late 70's to the coke-fueled rocket speed version often seen throughout the 80's is a journey in and of itself ... great Eyes here though
Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 30, 1979
Stanley Theater

Amazing jam around 10-11:30 min in - everyone contributes really amazing
The Other One
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Estimated>O1 is so amazing everytime the combo was played it was done with class (i.e. 5/9/77)
Samson and Delilah
July 3, 1994
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry's awake! A very good version this late in Jerry's life quite frankly + the whole band is just on point
