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.

^^Agreed! Jerry was really giving that Travis Beam a work out.

This entire That's it for the other one is really good. Mickey goes a little gong crazy on the Cryptical reprise. It was the 60s, you can expect that
Turn On Your Love Light

Winterland Arena

^^Agreed! Pig was very interactive with the audience on this one. And probably pretty drunk!
St. Stephen

Winterland Arena

Tight, kind of swinging, version. Bobby's rhythm work is especially good on this one.

Phil really dictates the direction of this DS. Every one locks in making for some very tight acompiament for Jerry' guitar journey. At one point Jerry and Bobby pull out an Alman Brothers style lead harmony. One of the top 69 versions, for sure.
