Not Fade Away
April 3, 1970
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.

April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

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

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

This show is phenomenal stuff, I've been devouring it in small chunks since summer. Jerry takes a dive on the lyrics (more than once), but the band's sound is kaleidoscoping around the hall. Get the matrix.

Hell yes! This whole show is great and under loved.

They play the crap out of this.
