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.

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

Terrapin Station
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Brent adds some fine contributions, novel solutions to the puzzle that is "Terrapin."
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Damn! Jerry! Brent! Phil! This is good stuff. Very competitive with the (later) era when they were drilling Dylan songs c o n s t a n t l y.
The Music Never Stopped
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Several sections are twisted into cathartic dance jams. Excellent mid-'80s version.
He's Gone
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Wow. One of my favorite standalone versions now. Just exactly perfect.
Cumberland Blues
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Sounds like Jerry quotes some recognizable (famous) bluegrass licks in this one. Sorry, can't ID the song.
