Deal

Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

Brimming with confidence, this version has noticeable snap /-

Samson and Delilah

These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

The old encore favorite is executed with both ease and precision. Clean, bright Brokedown here.

Dire Wolf

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.
