Samson and Delilah
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

In the intro, Jerry briefly turns on the Mutron, which is highly unusual for this song. But awesome nonetheless.

Should be way higher, this version is super tight and the playing, including Jerry's solo, is top notch. Not a stretch to say this is one the highlights of the entire show.

This is a phenomenal version. Vocals are near-perfect, tempo starts a little slow but slowly picks up. Jerry's second solo is a thing of beauty.

Boston Garden

This show gets a lot of hype, and for good reason - it's great across the board. However, this might be the highlight of the show. Song is taken a pretty fast tempo and Jerry absolutely brings the heat in the beginning solo.

This one doesn't have the extended rapid fire playing of 5/28 or 5/22, but I think it's more patient, musical, and eventually when Jerry does finally start letting it rip, it's absolutely incredible.
