Not Fade Away

Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"

Candyman

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.

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'

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

Playin' In The Band

Mine too. I'd go so far as to say f the comparisons– good is good, and the band wasn't trying to recreate their earlier sound, but create a new one each time. There's some stellar interplay here, and the recording quality is fantastic. Also the ending section and transition into "Drums" is quite lovely.

Both Brent and Jerry throw down some great solos here. Seriously good version!
