Samson and Delilah
Dec. 29, 1988
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Oh boy... Definitely agree about Brent. This one is super-charged with crazy amounts of energy!!! I've never heard a Samson jam sound like this before.
The Other One
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

A gigantic, thundering beast of a rendition. Taken along with the preceding Dark Star, this Other One is one hell of a force to be reckoned with.
Stella Blue
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

A true pantheon version.
West L.A. Fadeaway
July 19, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Yes, Jerry's guitar playing is completely insane on this one. Being able to watch his facial expressions while he sings it makes it doubly priceless.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Nov. 1, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

The second set of this show is one of all-time great start-to-finish second sets. A total work of art. I save this one for only the most atmospheric of occasions.
