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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

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

Stella Blue
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Highlight from the end of the show.
7
Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

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

Garcia's voice actually sounds pretty good tonight, and he's clearly glad to be singing throughout this whole show.

Jerry shows up ready to play!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

Kick ass version and very little slide-town Bobby? Hell yes.
Caution
Nov. 1, 1968
Silver Dollar Fair

Also, the feedback that happens after is a must hear. Very musical and has the pure crystalline quality of warm cosmic whale song.
Cryptical Envelopment
Nov. 1, 1968
Silver Dollar Fair

A very good version. Everything before and after the atrocious sound in the middle of the set should be heard.
