Capitol Theater

A well delivered Cryptical opening a psyhadelic flood gate for a very strong single kit drums and an adventurious Other One.

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.

I agree with all of the above, this is a very inspired version of D.S!

Keith is just a month in, Mickey is out. This is like a preview of the 1972 D.S sound. This should be up on the list!

Fillmore East

Just a month after their bust in New Orleans and the loss of T.C on keys, they where playing with focus and clarity. Varied and dynamic. This version works for me a little better then the 08-27-72 show, both really good renditions.

Boston Music Hall

This version is worthy of a much higher place on the list. Billy sounds especially good and his drums are recorded well. Everyone is in good form on this one. I will listen to this one again, for sure.

Bellarmine College

This show should be in the top 10, in my opinion. It's the most inventive and interesting version of 1968, the year it was born. Bobby and Phil lock into Jerry as he explores a variety of riffs and motif's that exemplify the psychedelic era. Please vote for this one, It deserves to be listened to!
