Samson and Delilah

Boston Music Hall

Practically got a hand cramp scrolling for this one... they tear it up like a pack of wolves

The Mosque

Musician's high -- effortlessly and enjoyably riding the wave on top of their game
Jack Straw

Hollywood Bowl

The sauntering pace seems to invite and provide space for the increasing barrage of notes that emerges during this era, quickens the tempo, and tends to inform the emphasis on these parts in future years.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 30, 1973
Rochester Community War Memorial

This version of the pairing is genius. Totally overlooked is right. A pathetic assemblage of votes so far.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

So many great ones – and differences among eras. Still, a paltry three votes? Aggressive/ Phil running the lane here. Boot it up the list.
