Adams Field House, U of Montana

Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

Samson and Delilah
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

I think every Deadhead should start at TMNS to end the first set, hear that ball of energy coming out of Jerry's guitar and then bask in this Touch>Samson. EPIC sound that marked a great moment for the Dead and captured so well on the latest Dave's Picks. Some of the best crowd noise I've ever heard to go along with this stellar music

aaaand just like that Jerry is back. Cannot imagine what this must've been like seeing it live. Stellar version
I Need A Miracle

Last two minutes of space teases this and the intro is perfect. Rockin version from a high energy show
