Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)
July 12, 1970
Fillmore East

A mellow acoustic version unlike any I the others more known for being uptempo and somewhat aggressive. A rare treat.

Not Fade Away
July 11, 1970
Fillmore East

Vast and expansive, with hints of Mountain Jam peppered throughout and a brilliant tug-of-war over whether to go into TOO. Needs a cleanup.

Sounds like Dave and Marmaduke came out mid-song to warm up for the NRPS set. Don't like acoustic AUD, don't bother. Like it? Oh baby, it's good.

First ever, and with 45 years between us and then, it's like a sweet whisper in AUD beauty. Real stuff here.

Superb, a distant reach-out from the AUDmurk of time. A special treat here.

The Other One

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

First Truckin'>TOO ever? If so, that's pretty cool. It's the first one I know of.
Good Lovin'
Oct. 23, 1970
McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Very fine jam, sparks flying, and Pigpen's vox is perfect. I'll be damned but around minute 14 there's a little backup rhythm that sounds like the Good Lovin' redux c. '78 or so.
Deep Elem Blues
Nov. 28, 1980
Lakeland Civic Center

Cgarces and jagraham84: Check out Sept 30, 1971 for the early prototype, if you dig this song in its electric form. Cheers!
Dark Star
Oct. 17, 1970
Cleveland Music Hall

Anything gdtrfb recommends is a good listen and he's (she's?) not at all wrong here. This is an AUD-lover's Star, with all the perfect, moody, thematics of 1970. Builds and buds into glory. The only reason it's not higher is because it's only recently recovered. Enjoy!
The Wheel
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

Dreamishness-o-lisciousness. To 'get it' you should go back and hear the whole Playin'>d/s>wheel sequence. Go past the link here and find the Charlie Miller remix, obviously, for beautiful sound quality and balance.
