Not Fade Away

Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"

Candyman
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Premiere version from the middle/acoustic set. Audible buzz on the SBD, but worth the historic interest and for Jerry's wordless penultimate verse.

Jerry stumbles a bit during the transition, but a powerful early version.

Highlight from the end of the show.

Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Kicks back into the cowboy vibe from earlier in the show, leads into a stellar "Stella."

Nice. I too am a SBD fan (easier on the ears), but Jerry comes right through on this one. Fantastic sound.
