Sublime. Full heady steam engine coming down the track, check out this deep sounding monster, mellow and contained and nailed

Great cover of an awesome weavers song. The song works well in the encore slot. Really fun listening to it, Jerry singing this song is a real trip!

A fairly short version, but don't let the time fool you, this version is as intense as they come. Its to wonder how they could make this up on the fly

Second above comments-- the transition is quite something.. Vocals are heartfelt and definitive, Stranger>1/2>Weight is a pleasant surprise to open a very solid 1st set.

Samson and Delilah
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

DP 18 is crackling with an abundance of energy that places it in the upper echelon of live dead releases. This Samson is torn to absolute shreds, Garcia is a man possessed, if I had to guess the stage was on fire following this version.
