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.

Capitol Theater

This song is from what seems to be kind of an over looked show. The sound quality isn't the best, but the playing and singing is.
Friend of the Devil

Capitol Theater

Robert Hunter said this song is as close to being a classic as any song that he and Jerry wrote. I think it made it, as did quite a few others. This is an underappreciated acoustic version from the fantastic Capitol theater.

^^ I just re-listened to this one. I don't know what I was talking about. Jerry takes an inventive solo on this version. I guess you have to listen with fresh ears sometimes. Some votes for this song are wasted because a faulty submission problem on this site. It should be voted up, for sure!
