http://www3.clearlight.com/~acsa/intro.htm I know a lot of folks are not into 1976, but I really like some of the Samsons from this period, particulary 6-29 in Chicago... Keith and the drummers are a little more funky at this point than in many of the 77 versions. If you give this particular show a try, you'll probably be more drawn to the Playin'>Wheel combo which, IMO, deserves more recognition. The Playin sees Jerry looking for some new riffs in the breakdown. 2/5/78... LONG intro due to Weir's mike failure...very tribal and shredding! 5-15-77 Jerry is ON and really into it. When Bobby sings the "You read about this lion he killed a man with paws!" verse, Jerry shouts out "NO!" in repsonse. I seem to remember 10/29/77's being a strong one. rockin' samson 10-30-77 Jerry's hot and his guitar is right up front in the mix, Bobby remembers all the words w/ a powerful performance and Donna's hardly there at all :lol: doesn't get too much better than that. 11/4/77 binghamton ny 11-6-77 11/29/79 Cleveland Public Auditorium Shakedown into Samson especially the end of Shakedown where Brent pulls some heavy stuff out the funk bag. 11/30/80 8-3-82 Starlight Theater, KC, MO (Weir - "in case you all forgot it's Sunday") Straight out of my favorite Shakedown. All around smokin' show. 10/4/81 London 12/30/85 3/30/88 3/31/88 12/29/88 for a different sounding one I'd go with 5/6/90.
