Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

Listen to this and tell me Kruetzmann wasn't at least a little joyous at ridding himself of Hart.
Not Fade Away

Berkeley Community Theater

Springfield Civic Center

Band in complete control. Sweet little flourishes (especially by Lesh) abound.
