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.

Cold Rain and Snow

Family Dog at the Great Highway

from what I can gather on the archive, this is the very first show to used a new guitar intro. This is the intro the band used from then on and the version that most heads know. I actually prefer the original intro, but by 69 they've slowed the song down, and that works better for me.

The archive has this labeled as Winterland. Wherever it was, it cooks!

The Matrix

Jerry was getting the definitive guitar tone for this song. He must have pulled out one of his strats for this one. This is very good version of this song and a good recording.

Jerry's guitar tells the whole story!
