Capitol Theater

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

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.

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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 24, 1971
Easttown Theatre

This is a very early show for Keith, he was fitting in well already! Phil was the driving fource behind this one, though!
Truckin'
Aug. 7, 1971
Golden Hall

This date doesn't show up on the archive. Is it a special release?
Jack Straw
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

This is a clean and well paced version. Bobby and Jerry's vocal exchange is just right. Jerry's solo is kind of laid back, but it does the job.
Caution
Nov. 10, 1967
Shrine Auditorium

I could write about 2 paragraphs about this version, but I think that HOLY FUCK says it all!
Caution
Feb. 4, 1969
The Music Box

This was a great, energetic show, as was the one on 04-15-69 in this same venue. A little psychedelic magic, in Omaha, Nebraska!
