Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Just a blistering drum beat to propel this one! Good stuff!

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

Also, listen closely to Let It Grow and see if you, too, feel like it's hinting at what's to come, particularly with the Shakedown Street that opens the next set. Around the 7-ish minute mark or thereabouts.

I keep finding missed diamonds in the rough (well, if not diamonds, precious gemstones nonetheless) all throughout this show. As has been said, It was picked by Dick for a reason, and there are plenty of them - this is one!
Samson and Delilah

Oakland Coliseum Arena

I might have overlooked this one previously, but - as has been noted already - there's some ferocity here that's altogether pleasing to listen to.

Vince! I mean - VINCE!? Wow! Such a nice, full sound to this fully realized later version.

Nice interplay, and as cgarces says, some great slide work. Slow, but it's not by any means hurt by that. Beautiful. Sweet harmonies, too!
