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

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

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.

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.

Energized, Phil drivin Cryptical, longer then its song mate tO1.

Jerry's galloping right out of the gate, with a Gibson in hand. In March and April Jerry swapped the Strat for a Les Paul. This partially explains why this O1 sounds so unique. This was also the 2nd time they played this song since Mickey's departure. They where the original Warlocks again with 6 years of playing together, and it shows! Even Pig is making a strong contribution on organ. And Bobby's laying down strong rhythm support for Jerrys energetic and inventive lead lines. And of course, Billy was now free to lock in with Phil, who was feeling Jerry's every move. This O1, along with the 02-19 version, kind of set a template for the structure of this song, at least until Keith arrived 8 months later. This is a really good find, Mercury!

Jerry's vocal is very strong on this one. Donna 's harmony is on pitch and lovely. And more importantly, Wolf is soaring throughout Jerry's solo, especially the outro!

Some very confident and strong vocals and playing by Jerry, with just the right backup by the boys, on this one! Just the right delivery of this song, in my book.

This is the Other One that I know and love. Energetic psychedelic magic, transitioning into an elegant Wharf Rat!

This a crisp and energetic version, sandwiched between two delightful Not fade aways. I love this post Mickey era!
