Definitely top 5 version. Longer than most. 68 Shrine is still the gold standard, tho.

Madison Square Garden

This ok tune is played as well as it can be at this hot show. Decent sound effects for Bob's voice, too.

Yeah...listen to this one!
Not Fade Away
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

71 had the best NFA>GDTRFB>NFA combos of any year. Great one this day. Includes epic darkness jam in the GDTRFB. This show should not be overlooked.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This is a great DS with first verse clocking in at 12 minutes with no nonsense. Seamless transition of El Paso and then back into another 7 minutes of DS jam.
Not Fade Away

Barton Hall - Cornell University

This version is legit. Absolutely bonkers version.

Orpheum Theater

I highly recommend this version....killer groove. Especially since a lot of us have been digging 76, lately.
