Pure Donna vocals, and raging Garcia solo before the last verse. Donna sounds great throughout this entire show—it's a real smoker.

NOT just another '77 version. BIG bridge solo, pure Jerry/Donna backing vocals, scary Mutron solo into Eyes. One of the best.

Samson and Delilah

Baltimore Civic Center

NOT just another '77 version. Insanely-tight jamming, 2nd set opener, KEITH, JERRY, PHIL! Best version I've heard.

Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

Out of Half-Step opener of the last show of Brent's first tour with the band. Love his early '79 keys sound.

The middle jam is excellent.

Short, but incredibly psychedelic.

St. Stephen tease during the ending Jer solo.

Technically, far from perfect—but man, this one will kick you in the teeth. Super heavy Phil zone and blasts of energy.

Holy cow. I have heard great performances of this song before, but this one has bumped the others off the top of the leader board. Great show all around too.
