Powerful and incandescent. I’ll admit Peggy-O can sometimes bore me, but not this one!

He's Gone

Grand Prix Racecourse

Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

Brent goes funky with his solo, then Jerry goes lyrical.

What sounds like a momentary Let It Grow tease in Space, if you’re listening for something in particular. Powerful and pure Grateful Dead.

Shakedown Street

Rosemont Horizon

As if hypnotized by the groove, the band brings the jam down to a quiet plane before ratcheting up for the conclusion.
Samson and Delilah
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden

I really like the dual keyboard action in this one. While Bruce is pure Old Dominion roll, Vince rocks, sounding agreeably like Garth Hudson. Good showcase for the era.
Estimated Prophet

World Music Theater

The midsong jam in G didn’t do much for me, but the outro is the best kind of midified chaos.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Whoa.
The Other One
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center

This is a worthy version. Very primal-sounding at points.
