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.

Cryptical Envelopment
April 21, 1969
The Ark

Yes, that Miller version is the best!
The Other One
Nov. 22, 1968
Veterans Hall

If the audio quality was better on this, it would be a very highly regarded version. Fast, precise and energetic! The same goes for the entire show, the 300 people in that Columbus Ohio hall probably still have this show permeated in their brains.
St. Stephen
April 21, 1969
The Ark

Just the right tempo here. Jerry and Bobby's voices seat together very well on this one. Then they transition into an energetic t11. This whole show is good. There was something about those Ark shows that brought out the magic in the boys!
Cryptical Envelopment
April 21, 1969
The Ark

The slide work that Jerry was doing coming out of tO1, into the Cryptical reprise, was quite exquisite. Then the build up to the verse and the outro arpeggios, 69 goodness here.
Turn On Your Love Light
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Almost 24 minutes of love lite and I was in it the whole time. The energy level and the variety of Jerry's gutair lines really makes this a version well worth listening to!
