So soulful. One of the best Wharf Rats Jerry has ever sung. All around perfect version, coming out of one sick jam.

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This gets out of control fairly quickly, when jerry takes his solo to the next level. A seriously rocking version.

Holy shit is this a smoker or what. Too bad they end it 5 minutes in, this version was fucking cooking.

Second above comments-- the transition is quite something.. Vocals are heartfelt and definitive, Stranger>1/2>Weight is a pleasant surprise to open a very solid 1st set.

Samson and Delilah
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

DP 18 is crackling with an abundance of energy that places it in the upper echelon of live dead releases. This Samson is torn to absolute shreds, Garcia is a man possessed, if I had to guess the stage was on fire following this version.
