I absolutely love the China Cat Fade Away shows! Fall/Winter of ‘71 just cooks

I believe this is the version on the Complete Live Rarities Collection on Apple Music. I love the funkiness Brent adds to the jam on this. His backing vocals are perfect for this song as well. Some of those mid to late ‘70s songs were just meant for the Brent era than when they originally came out. Lol jk

Holy smokes! Jerry rips some nasty licks on this one. Great harmony vocals too which can be hard to find with this one.
Not Fade Away

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Amazing jams plain and simple. Exploratory, or maybe the song is just a vehicle to play a medley of song riffs. I love it either way

The riff gets flubbed a little and the ad lib verse is meh (no one is selling real estate in LA in this version lol) BUT as one of the most under appreciated songs in the catalog it is one of my personal favs. Giving the vote regardless because we’re still shadowboxing the apocalypse and wandering the land folks
