Deal
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Brimming with confidence, this version has noticeable snap /-

These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

The old encore favorite is executed with both ease and precision. Clean, bright Brokedown here.

William and Mary College Hall

Crystalline beauty. Love the lilting way Keith plays in '76, too.
He's Gone
July 6, 1990
Cardinal Stadium

Blistering bluesy jam morphs into Other One-esque maelstrom. From a jamming perspective, among the best ever.
Terrapin Station
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Brent adds some fine contributions, novel solutions to the puzzle that is "Terrapin."
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Damn! Jerry! Brent! Phil! This is good stuff. Very competitive with the (later) era when they were drilling Dylan songs c o n s t a n t l y.
The Music Never Stopped
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Several sections are twisted into cathartic dance jams. Excellent mid-'80s version.
