Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Not Fade Away
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

I clearly wasted far too much time and money for a MBA and undergrad in business school. THIS is the business. All courses and programs completed, listen, then immediately grab your diploma. It's been years since i've heard this. There is what, 10-12 min of jaw-dropping jamming before any vocals even kick in?? This is disgusting. And, clearly deserved of all the dap

Yeah, this Mags is the business. Killer, high energy peak to the Mags, great pause for antici......pation of Sunshine Daydream, SD comes in with a whisper, then they bring it on home to a swinging close. Great version

This is a masterpiece. While to me, it lacks some of the emotive, somber, and wrenching vocal stylings that are demonstrated in other top tier versions, the guitar work from Jerry is unmatched. Just swirling to a creative and cathartic peak. My only other (minor) gripe, is that i could have used 30 sec - 1 million minutes more of the ending jam. The sequel into Sug Mags is a bit jarring. Brilliant version, all and all though

This comes fully equipped with an audio account of a lunar landing, so yeah, there's that.. Very spaced out, Brent driving the effects, and incredibly surprised this one doesn't get more dap in voting.

Jerry's closing solo could make angels weep. A longtime favorite.
