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.

^^Agreed! Jerry was really giving that Travis Beam a work out.

This entire That's it for the other one is really good. Mickey goes a little gong crazy on the Cryptical reprise. It was the 60s, you can expect that
Turn On Your Love Light

Winterland Arena

^^Agreed! Pig was very interactive with the audience on this one. And probably pretty drunk!

Tight, kind of swinging, version. Bobby's rhythm work is especially good on this one.

Phil really dictates the direction of this DS. Every one locks in making for some very tight acompiament for Jerry' guitar journey. At one point Jerry and Bobby pull out an Alman Brothers style lead harmony. One of the top 69 versions, for sure.
