Playin' In The Band
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

This is an early stripped down version. There's no extended jam, or Donna screaming, just the basic song, deliverd well!

Not Fade Away
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

Single kit opening, Phil comes in changing the bass line then transitions into a tasty, energetic Not Fade Away on a Goin Down the Road sandwich.

Truckin'
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

First song of the first show of Micky's hiatus from the band. Billy more then makes up for his absense, providing a hard, rolicking, steady beat.

Hard to Handle
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

I can't see why this version is so far behind 08/06/71 in votes. All of the April, 71 - Fillmore versions should be right up there.

Fillmore East

This one is just bursting with energy. The best of the April 71 Fillmore shows and at least as good as the 08/06/71 version, in my opinion. This one of Bobby's better solos on this song. And Jerrys tearing this one up!

Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

until about 4.30 into this one, this version is really good but not any better then the 4-71 Fillmore versions. But when Jerry takes his outstanding solo, the energy of the whole band kicks in and this becomes a barn burner. Overall, though, I think the 4/27/71 version is every bit as good as this one.

Golden Hall

This show isn't on the archive. Crow or DS67 any info on this one?
Space

Dillon Stadium

The Ned part of that is referring to Ned Lagin, who was an experimental electronic key board player who sat in with the Dead, occasionally, in the early to mid 70s. He and Phil where good friends and would occasionally perform some very avant-garde material; also known as weard shit!
