Not Fade Away

Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"

Candyman

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.

Field House, U. of Cincinnati

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

Highlight from the end of the show.

Truckin'

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Can't believe I forgot to vote for this! Great playing, and one of my favorite Jerry licks in the post-"Headlight" verse. This whole show never disappoints.If you have 4 hours to drop into something top to bottom, give this a listen.
