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.

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.

Family Dog at the Great Highway

from what I can gather on the archive, this is the very first show to used a new guitar intro. This is the intro the band used from then on and the version that most heads know. I actually prefer the original intro, but by 69 they've slowed the song down, and that works better for me.

The archive has this labeled as Winterland. Wherever it was, it cooks!

Jerry was getting the definitive guitar tone for this song. He must have pulled out one of his strats for this one. This is very good version of this song and a good recording.

Jerry's guitar tells the whole story!
