Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 25, 1983
St. Paul Civic Center

Starts cooking with Supplication, slowly increasing the frenetic space jazz. They nail the landing on the verse and the closing jam is hot

Great jam

Estimated Prophet

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Great Estimated that packs a solid bridge jam and a long, trippy outro into He’s Gone

Ship of Fools

This is a good one. Jerry sounds good, the band is tight and the solo is fantastic

Terrapin Station

Silva Hall at the Hult Center

Lyrically foggy but played with intensity and clarity. Dreamy guitars and powerful synth swells mixed with 84 darkness and haze. very cool.

Samson and Delilah
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

Jerry nearly bursts into flames several times during this one! Look for the FM broadcast SBD on the archive. It has rougher, more energetic feel than the Dick's Picks version.
Brokedown Palace
Nov. 15, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

A nearly flawless rendition. Give this one a listen, you won't be disappointed.
Truckin'
Sept. 28, 1975
Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

The AUD version is so hot it's molten. Some flubs early on but the crescendo and outro jam are spectacular. Highly recommended.
Big River
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

Super fast, super-charged, and totally awesome version! One time I was wide-eyed and asked my friend, "Do you wanna know what cocaine sounds like?" Then I played this song and we both totally lost it.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

The interplay during the transition is beyond stellar. 100% on point, my personal favorite version of China>Rider.
