Grateful Dead - Samson and Delilah 10/2/1977 video free download

This is a Reverend Gary Davis classic covered by the Dead. The Rev often would preceed his guitar solos with a spoken exhortation, such as "Great God Almighty, talk to me"... as Phil Lesh does here.

Gary Williams

He at least says great god almighty in the 87 version, and 1980 which is my favorite version, I figured he just always says it.

Lane Crooks

Love Jerry's tone here.

OK, so as not to lose all my followers, I'll take a left turn on this #sacredsunday :) Samson and Delilah are in the Bible. #amiriteladies Grateful Dead - Samson and Delilah 10/2/1977

In 78 in Des Moines Jerry was zooted for this show. And when they played this song he ruled it. I have the CD on me right now and I listened to both and they are the same. 77 and 78 are some of the best years ever in my opinion. The stuff alone they were doing was mesmorizing

prob' still a Betty, but I could be wrong. not doubting 78', but never noticed the Bobby "great god allmighty" before or after 77'. But here again, maybe i never noticed... pretty sure he doesn't sing that in the 80's or 90's... love this tune. thanks for the experience!

Best was at the Capitol theater in 1977

this isn't 10/2/77 version this is from 78 in Des Moines! I know because he blazes this version the best in Des Moines in 78. It is a Dicks Picks!
