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.

Candyman
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

This is a call to all Candyman lovers, listen and vote for this version. The vocals, are just outstanding. Jerry's effect driven solo is perfect for this rendition. The mix is just right on this one. This whole show is great, in the land of the midnight sun.
Loser
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

At the end of Jerry's solo the crowd went crazy, for good reason. This was a special Loser, for shure. Jerry's voice was strong and athritative. Listen and vote loser fans.
Candyman
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Jerry really attacks that solo. His vocals really deliver this song, and the harmonies by Bobby and Donna are stellar. The absence of piano with just a hint of organ make Bobby's guitar stand out more. This may be the definitive version.
Wharf Rat

Music Hall

This one of the most truthful and energetic versions that I've heard.

This another 77 gem, for sure.
