Candyman

Capitol Theater

This really nice early Candy Man. This one is after Truckin. The first two are sound checks, I think.

Uncle John's Band

Capitol Theater

This is one of the better acoustic versions of this song. The sound quality isn't the best but the performance is spot on.

Loser

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This is a tragically overlooked version. Bobby's guitar is loud and proud. Jerry's Strat playing was as clean and twangy as it got on this song.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

The forth live performance of these 2 songs put together. It starts out a little rough, then it evolves into a well paced and played China Rider.

Yes, that Miller version is the best!
The Other One
Nov. 22, 1968
Veterans Hall

If the audio quality was better on this, it would be a very highly regarded version. Fast, precise and energetic! The same goes for the entire show, the 300 people in that Columbus Ohio hall probably still have this show permeated in their brains.
St. Stephen

The Ark

Just the right tempo here. Jerry and Bobby's voices seat together very well on this one. Then they transition into an energetic t11. This whole show is good. There was something about those Ark shows that brought out the magic in the boys!

The Ark

The slide work that Jerry was doing coming out of tO1, into the Cryptical reprise, was quite exquisite. Then the build up to the verse and the outro arpeggios, 69 goodness here.
Turn On Your Love Light
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Almost 24 minutes of love lite and I was in it the whole time. The energy level and the variety of Jerry's gutair lines really makes this a version well worth listening to!
