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.

Morning Dew
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

This is what all Morning Dews should sound like. Spectacular final crescendo. One of the better Dews of 73'
Cumberland Blues
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a real smoker, and vocals are top-notch. The whole early show is worth checking out.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

They hit this out of the park. Each instrument clicks, and there is clear communication between instruments. Rocking and powerful version. Definitive.
Wharf Rat
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is really good. Epic O1<Wharf Rat
New Minglewood Blues
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

These guys were on fire this whole show. But during this song they kick it into a new gear and pour it on like this was the last time they were ever going to play the song.
