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

West Palm Beach Auditorium

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."

Bobby is definitely on during this tighten up jam. Good stuff.
Scarlet Begonias

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Is that a question with only one right answer? :)
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

welcome aboard Moses! Poke around and find what you like, it's never too late. cgarces is spot on with those recommendations, both are killer. I'd add 7/31/82 (my first favorite) and 2/5/78 (my current fav).
Good Lovin'
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Whoops! Edited. Also bump for the great rap and the fact that the whole group cooks.

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

They tear this up.
