Samson and Delilah

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Shredded by Jer and Bob was a little slide happy in 78, but works well.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Capital Centre

Jerry has an interesting final jam that he rips at the end of China Cat. He also shreds at the end of Rider , too.

Great version of this rare tune at this epic run. Bruce is a nice addition on this tune.

Amazing wheel. Love when the last few minutes of space meanders its way to the Wheel.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Now that its being released... should get some upvote. Not to be nitpicky, but the pre wind and the willows jam is just ok and the transition is solid and melodic, but nothing crazy. The Fire is top shelf, tho. So after 20 listens to this... My go to for 77 is 5/17.
Wharf Rat
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater

16 minute version in a great wharf rat year. This whole show is under-rated.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
June 22, 1985
Alpine Valley Music Theater

Huge build-up in Saint. One of the most killer versions of this combo.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Another great version from this era. Only thing from the first set that really gets me going.

Honestly, most of this first set bores me like Fresno 74 release. There is so much of this 73-74 stuff released which is great, mostly for the second sets. Yes...the China>Rider is worthy.
