Looks Like Rain

No doubt there's a little schmaltz factor on the lyrics and all, but Bobby and Donna just wash over you on this one like a wave of lovely heartache.

Rabble-rousing banger here. Jerry kicks it up and up and the crowd just loves it.

Totally overlooked. One of the sweetest of the year. Rolls in at almost 6 min, closing a beaut set. I'm setting this to auto replay now. Check it out!

Overlooked! Comes out of a smokin' LIG and has that smokey, slinky, silky smolder of the best of '76.

Samson and Delilah

More and more I'm convinced that the earliest Samsons are the best. So confident, so full of strut and swagger. Any other era with such consist force?

Whole show is underrated.

Absolutely sick version, with a simmering Pig rap that's got some sizzling backing work by the ghee-tars. The sneak-it-in China Cat sandwich is a cool surprise (how many times did that ever happen?), and the reprise is full throttle. Fun stuff.

Unique jam, and an atypical rap for the time.

Tragic cut about five minutes in, followed by an unlisted Big Railroad Blues. It's a pity too, because the jam is a real heater, and we have to be happy with what we got.

La Bamba jam. It's definitely there. The cool groove starting at 19:30 is a la la la la Bamba and lasts about a minute and a half. Cool stuff!
