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

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.

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!
