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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

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

Stella Blue

West Palm Beach Auditorium

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 and like cgarces said, helps the set grow wonderfully.

I love me a good "Jed." This is the good stuff.

Nice version!
Aiko Aiko

St. Louis Arena

Hell yes! There are some first-time jitters, but they connect to and from this seamlessly. Nice show all around.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Amazed to see such a wide variety of opinions on the archive about this version! That in and of itself makes this worth checking out.
