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
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

This is pure psychedelic magic, as is this whole show. Jerry is on fire on this one!

Olympia Theater

This is a very clean version and a good mix. Nice up-tempo version. Jerry's vocals and guitar playing are both in good form here. Keith is adding some very nice and appropriate piano work on this one.

I had to give this another listen. The contemplative quality of this version really conveys the emotional content of this song. And Jerry's solo is superb. Not the best mix, but a great version.

Because the critics just don't understand the art of noodling! If any one really listens to Jerry's playing you will discover a melodic and tonal complexity that should place him high on the list of the best rock guitarists of all time!
The Other One
Nov. 29, 1970
Club Agora

It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this version. They played this one with a lot of energy and imagination, it takes some unexpected turns and everyone's locked in. Jerry was channeling 1968 Jerry, at times.
