It won't make you a Candyman fan, but if you dig that already, you will like this.

Phil and Vince lead the way. The rest of the band sounds like they took the day off.

Pig sounding great on a shortie. Jerry playing some sharp guitar. Great version.

Short one, only 4:37, but what's there is crisp and well-played.

From the Heart of Me

Boston Music Hall

Nice showcase tune for Donna, to show the world she can do more than scream. Nice guitar work by Jerry towards the end.

Pigpen takes some small steps forward with his improvisational singing, but there's still a long way to go. Worth a listen.

Fun early version highlighted by some good Pigpen vocals and some screaming guitar work from Jerry. Give it a listen!

Let's face it - Phil's singing isn't very good and the instrumental work isn't up to Grateful Dead standards.

Hartford Civic Center

This is pretty low in the rankings of all-time best performances. The only real strong point is Bob's emphatic backup vocals.
