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.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Alexandra Palace

Brimming with confidence, this version has noticeable snap /-

Samson and Delilah
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

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.

Ramble On Rose
April 29, 1984
Nassau Coliseum

This might be the highlight of the first set, but it's a really well-played set all around. Try the chasingwilma recording for set I (there's a SBD for set II).
Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

The technical glitch I can overlook, but Bobby’s noticeably out of tune in stretches of the jam. I can’t upvote, but I can recommend you hear this at least once to appreciate the good aspects, which are significant.
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Fast, nimble, with lots of heart -- basically perfect. It's a great first set overall!
Drums -> Space
Sept. 16, 1990
Madison Square Garden

This is stupendous and makes me want to revisit all the MSG ’90 Drums>Spaces. Don’t overlook this the next time you hit play on this classic set.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

I actually found the last few minutes the most impressive. Jerry switches his guitar tone and the whole jam immediately takes on new colors and textures. Great version.
