A well delivered Cryptical opening a psyhadelic flood gate for a very strong single kit drums and an adventurious Other One.

Playin' In The Band

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.

This is a really good find here, Sally! When Jerry nails that opening guitar line and his vocal gets that high lonesome tone, you know that you've got something. And this one really delivers that intangible quality that happens when this song is done right. Although I prefer the Strat tone that Jerry was getting on this song in 72, he's in the ball park with Tiger on this one. This version definitely deserves more attention.

Jerry's laying down some tasty, country, Strat licks. The vocals are a little high on this recording. This looks like the only source for this show.

Bobby handles Chuck Berry covers with a lot of glee. This one is a good example of that. I love what Jerry's doing with that Strat on this song, and the whole show. 71, single kit, no clutter, no brainer!

Billy was really setting the direction of this one. I think he was in a Jazzy mood!
