The Other One
April 9, 1989
Freedom Hall

A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Looks Like Rain

Winterland Arena

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Winterland Arena

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Samson and Delilah
April 26, 1977
Capitol Theater

Not just a straightforward rocker. Keith adds an icy contrast to Jerry’s fire while the drummers up the tension.

Greek Theater

Sparkling version. Worth your attention as you savor the perfect Oade AUD.

Dire Wolf
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

One of the last versions in A? It was transposed to C at some point during October ’77, never to return to its original key. Anyway, I always liked it better in A. Well-played version, too.

The Mosque

Almost too perfect, at least till a small Jerry slip-up at the end. Heavenly.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

Impressive sense of detail throughout, plus all the big Technicolor moments you expect from spring ’78 really deliver here.
Sugar Magnolia
May 13, 1978
The Spectrum

Caps a post-drums sequence that the band rocks like they really mean it. Great stuff.
Wharf Rat
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Jerry’s last solo is notably fierce and forceful.
