Fantastic jam. Everyone looks alive. Bobby and Brent drive it.

Samson and Delilah
May 8, 1979
Recreation Hall - Penn State University

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

Jerry has to be feeling it for this tune to work and he's on fire here

Sneaky, searching solo is worth a listen.

The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 23, 1980
Alpine Valley Music Theater

Phil blows my mind with what he plays at the very beginning of the jam. Lots of peaks and Alpine Valleys in the jam itself.

The first time I heard the solo I didn't notice it. The second time, I liked it. The third time, I loved it. The fourth time, you get the idea.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Aug. 17, 1980
Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Arena

Double solos in Scarlet are great, especially the second one. Angry and finally resigned. Also notable that Jerry plays the coda with the mutron right away.
They Love Each Other
Aug. 16, 1980
Mississippi River Festival

Jerry means every note in the solo and especially the ones he doesn't play.
Ain't Superstitious (Meet Me on the Bottom)
March 29, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

^ The YouTube of it is funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ERRwGJY_4Y. Kelly picks up a stick at the end and tries to say something to Mickey but just skulks away. It's heartwarming to see Mickey standing up for his brother Billy like that
