Hits a moment of near complete silence. A beautiful segue from eyes into china doll.

Really fun latter day version. I believe it is the second to last played. The boys get into it, and reassure the crowd they arent quite done yet.

Samson and Delilah

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rippin' version. Some dialed in rage from Jerry coming with some ferocious solos.

Bobby gets into it, in great fashion. A quick charge through a Dylan Cover. Bursting energy throughout

Absolutely nuts version. Twice as fast as usual, I would stack this up with cornell.

Ohio Theatre

Melodically intricate and captivating. Totally worth a listen for anybody inclined to sit down and really appreciate what's going on. Almost sounds like a jazz composition if you let the sounds blend together. Really good version.

One of the best versions my ears have heard.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Philadelphia Civic Center

Grendel, thanks for pointing this one out. Really great stuff. The intro to Fire as was mentioned is indeed superb. The whole Fire for that matter is superb, and not to forget the Scarlet, a very good rendition. In all seriousness this version is massively underrated and deserves many more votes, for real.

Starts out sounding like Jerry is a little fatigued. However, he picks up the pace once delivering the solo, and the solo is good, both of them. The concluding minutes of the song are also played well. All in all I agree with your above comment, and this version is worth an upvote.
