This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

Not Fade Away
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

This isn't on the Archive link. I found it on the Archive app on the Soundboard, Charlie Miller. Soundboard, David Gans or Soundboard, Jay Searafin, Patrick Murphy recordings. None of these are marked Late or Early and they don't correspond with either of those recordings on the site. It's confusing, because it's so good that some one would have to have submited this version.

Really? This only has 3 votes. Bobby's rhythm playing is enough to command a much higher vote. Bobby was way up in the mix, which really showcases his incredible playing. Jerry plays this with a gleeful energy; being at the Fillmore east of course.

They played this one with that good old Fillmore East energy. Bobby was putting down some really nice rhythm guitar complementing Jerry's simple but expressive lead work. Very nice.
I Know You Rider

Alfred College

Other then missing the vocal on the 2nd verse, this Rider is every bit as good as the Harpur College version. The guitars sound fuller, better played and recorded better, at least the recording thaI heard. Jerry was getting an authentic " High - Lonesome" vocal sound on this one. Bobby's guitar playing complimented Jerry's very well. This, being the night before the Harpur show, which had the same acoustic set; with a short Candy Man.

Me too, Dark Star 67. This was a unique era for this song. After the rollicking early versions and before the China - Rider era.
