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

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.

Wharf Rat
Aug. 2, 1976
Colt Park

I I agree Crow, 76 was a transition year. They where getting tighter and more imaginative as well as refining their vocal parts; this Warf Rat is a great example Keith was adding more textures to the songs and Jerry was playing with precision and emotion. If there was a board recording of this WR, I think it would be kind of legendary.
Candyman

This was an extra groovy version from an extra groovy show, Ernie. The SirMick version is low in crowd noise, but just enough to feel the energy of that show.
The Other One
Feb. 7, 1969
Stanley Theater

Early 69, the boys where still committed to psychedelic excellence and they where playing with youthful energy. This Cryptical - Other One sandwich is one of the best examples of that.
Scarlet Begonias
July 18, 1976
Orpheum Theater

This is so tight and well recorded that it sounds almost like a studio recording. At about 5 minutes in they simultaneously drop the volume. Then at about 7 minutes they are back to full volume and Jerry takes us on a tasty lead guitar adventure. 1976 had some gems, for sure. this is one of them.
Caution

Phil really drives this thing along with his walking bass lines. This isn't a vocal masterpiece but it's high energy and exiting, as is this whole show.
