Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

If you like the slow-groove versions of the early Brent era, like 11/2/1979, 5/15/80, and 5/8/81, you will really like this one. Jerry digs in hard.

Promised Land

Buckeye Lake Music Center

not many heady versions from 1993, but this one is worth hearing. Vince gets a lengthier piano solo, and both of Jerry's solos feel right at home.

You Win Again
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Jerry calls for Keith to take the solo during this version, which must have boosted Keith's confidence.

Selland Arena

Phil's playing makes this a standout version, like many of the performances at this show

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

Raw early version, the jamming in the final :30 hints at the song's potential, which twould be realized the following weekend in Port Chester.

Audible laughter from Jerry during his vocal in an otherwise standard performance. Wonder what was making him crack up - was Bobby making funny faces at him again? Did someone ride a go-kart across the stage?

Crowd cheers for Keith and Jerry after their solos, nice to hear on the AUD matrix. Great version, outstanding show.

Vince fans are people too :-)
Standing On The Moon
March 10, 1993
Rosemont Horizon

Emotionally heavy, with the accompaniment trudging slowly but proudly up the great hill. And like cgarces said, Garcia delivers excellent vocals and a tear-jerking guitar solo.

The Palace

Difficult song to play correctly, but the band does a great job here. Nice segue into Terrapin as well. Kind of a sneaky-great second set...
