Not Fade Away
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"

Candyman
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Premiere version from the middle/acoustic set. Audible buzz on the SBD, but worth the historic interest and for Jerry's wordless penultimate verse.

April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Jerry stumbles a bit during the transition, but a powerful early version.

Highlight from the end of the show.

Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Kicks back into the cowboy vibe from earlier in the show, leads into a stellar "Stella."

Nice version. The vocals are a bit better than normal, and the playing this whole night is phenomenal.
New Minglewood Blues

Absolutely worth a listen!
Friend of the Devil

Totally agree. Serious contender here, and this is from a year filled with nice versions of this song.
Mexicali Blues

Seconded. I can usually take of leave these tunes, but don't skip them here.
