Olympiahalle

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

Olympiahalle

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

Brimming with confidence, this version has noticeable snap /-

Samson and Delilah

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.

Yeah, Phil is all over this version. I wouldn’t say Jerry’s vocal delivery is lacking, though. He fumbles a lyric at the end, but the dynamics and feeling are all there. Great version, though. Casts a spell.

Ah, the Download Series Vol. 10 version is actually filler from 7/22. Great in any case!

And how about those Caution teases from Phil?! Good lord.

Anyone else hear a momentary "Sorcerer's Apprentice" tease from Jerry in Space, give or take six minutes in?

^^ What Grendel said. I’m truly not certain if I’ve heard a better version of this song from ’77.
