I can't believe the Samson from Dead Set isn't listed, it's such a unique version with a vibe I've never heard in any other Samson!

Flat out some of the strongest most creative jamming the Dead has ever laid down! It's just a flat out musical miracle...

I've read that Jerry's heroin wore off by the 2nd set of this show and he was dope sick for the whole 2nd set but he was feeling good enough in the 1st to pull out a masterful performance. The next shows were the 2 INSANE MSG shows, 3/9 and 3/10 so my guess is that Jerry did the last of whatever H he had as close to showtime and then 're-upped' in NYC the next day cuz those msg shows are legends. Heroin Sucks!
