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.

Watch the video of this perfomance, taken by an audience member. The lighting makes Jerry look ghost like. It's beutiful, though.

This was the last song that Hunter and Garcia colaborated on. It is also one of their masterpieces. This is my favorite version. As memorium to Robert Hunter, I will only submit signifigant versions of the best Robert Hunter collaborations untill I have run through all of them. That's gonna take a while.

^^^^ Agreed, I listend to it. It was difficult to take it in, but beutiful. They are both gone now. We can only commemorate the wonderful songs that they created the best way that we can, by listening and sharing. I'm glad we have each other for support during this difficult time.
It Must Have Been The Roses

The Palladium

One of the best. Words and music by the great Robert Hunter R.I.P.
Loser
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This, lost, Loser is for anyone who truly appreciates this song, and for 1971 aficionados, DS67 and E5, for example. This one stands up to any other version, in my opinion, including Barton Hall and Albany -1990. Jerry took a "less is more" approach on his Strat solo, simple but perfect for this song. Bobby's rhythm is strong and audible. Keith is adding some tasty honkytonk piano, and he's mixed low enough to not cover up Bobby's guitar playing. This song, and the entire show, should be listened to, or revisited!
