Kiel Auditorium

Hits a moment of near complete silence. A beautiful segue from eyes into china doll.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Really fun latter day version. I believe it is the second to last played. The boys get into it, and reassure the crowd they arent quite done yet.

Samson and Delilah

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rippin' version. Some dialed in rage from Jerry coming with some ferocious solos.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Bobby gets into it, in great fashion. A quick charge through a Dylan Cover. Bursting energy throughout

The Forum

Absolutely nuts version. Twice as fast as usual, I would stack this up with cornell.

Dancin' in the Streets
March 21, 1970
Capitol Theater

Fantastically jammed and layered version that is definitely worth multiple listens.
Might As Well
April 8, 1991
Orlando Arena

Smokin'!!! Garcia's tone just sounds incredibly polished, just relaxed cranking from Jerry this whole show.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 17, 1975
Winterland Arena

Super cool, first Help on the Way ever performed live. The slipknot is absolutely massive, and a great franklins tower to top off the suite. Superb playing from an often overlooked 1975 show.
Ship of Fools
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

Maybe the best post 77' version, and is clearly a sublime and emotive rendition of a great song.
Samson and Delilah
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

Blistering, and powerful. Super fiery solos here, this version is SMOKIN'.
