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.

Stella Blue

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."

Great version. Lots to unpack in this one, and on first listen, I can hear the ABB influence.
El Paso

Roosevelt Stadium

Points for its place in the sequence, the blistering guitar runs, and Keith being on fire.

Holy cow.

grendel nailed this one. Hop on board this one! (edit) Sorry, didn't want to disrespect anyone else who commented, it was just that comment that really helped me unlock this version. You all have great taste!
