It's not too often that I will choose a 'spin-off' band's' version of a song over the way the Grateful Dead did it, but I might have found an exception to the trend.
This is Bobby Weir's Ratdog performing "Samson and Delilah" down at Bonnaroo last summer. While the Dead's version was nothing to sneeze at, it sometimes rocked a little bit too hard. Bobby takes the song back closer to its roots and sounds more like the version favored by his teacher, Rev. Gary Davis.
Enjoy!
