Really on performance, this is a real animated performance, Vince is shinning, Jerry even throws in some sweet backing vocals.

Proving they could still bring some fire even in 1995 this is a growling hot smoking opener. Bobby is possessed and Jerry lays down some nice runs.

Wonderful version from the Marijuana Defense benefit. Very psychedelic would love to have been able to see stuff like this, wow simply amazing. OOOZes Psychedelia not a perfect snbd but still rather clear just a slight muffle. Still beautiful and highly listenable. Jerry just starts killing it around the 3 minute mark, interstellar stuff

Absolutely a smoker has many of the same elements that the Europe 72 versions would have. They would be in Europe in just a few weeks. Excellent love these 1972 set opening versions. Very heady nice selection.
Not Fade Away

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Nice funky intro with good Brent and Jerry interplay, good work by the drummers. Jerry is blazing with a real hot raunchy mild feedback including solo after the first verse. Brent is definitely very powerful in this version playing the hell out of his keys. After verse two we get the awesome Jerry Fanning and the whole band is pushing hard forward. disregard this at your peril. Soaring Jerry over the rumble of the band excellent. Brings it down to a hush and then moves it into a very nice late 1979 Black Peter. Sweet Pleasel listen and enjoy

Turn this one up it is an absolute treat, bubbling Jerry lines after the first verse, bobby signing with clarity and passion,brent is just nailing it while bobby sings the verses, then brent's turn to shine with some beautiful runs on the keys, pushing the jam forward in a funky late 1979 sound very hot. Jerry then comes in after the third verse just blasting away it is terrific, bubbling with energy bobby joins the jam with some nice rhythm playing they are all pushing Jerry and he is up fotr the challenge, WOW. This is a truly awesome version do not deprive yourself of this one.

This version is totally smoking, lots of funk from Jerry and loaded with Phil blasts into a hot funky franklin's tower.
