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
Dec. 27, 1977
Winterland Arena

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Cassidy

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.

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

China Doll
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

I love the ’83-style pre-Drums China Dolls. Jerry and Phil bail on the jam pretty quickly, but then we get to enjoy some fine, harmonically adventurous Bobby, Brent, and Rhythm Devils jamming. Great stuff.
Bertha
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Uptempo but not rushed, effervescent, and clean as a whistle. There are a ton of great May '77 Berthas, and this is one of them. Don't miss it.
Friend of the Devil
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Keith’s smoooooth chromatic scale entry into his solo must be heard to be believed.
One More Saturday Night
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Apparently the version on the box set is from 5/28/77, as the 5/13 tape was irreparably damaged. The Archive links are truly 5/13, though.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

It should be noted that the version on the box set is from 6/8/77, as the 5/13 tape is damaged at this point. The Archive links are truly 5/13, however.
