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.

Highlight from the end of the show.

Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

Jerry's tone on this (I checked out the SBD) is slaying me, and Phil is very present in the mix. Very nice version.
Mason's Children
Dec. 28, 1969
International Speedway

Just listened to this twice in a row, and was blown away both times. Raw energy.
All Along the Watchtower
Oct. 18, 1989
The Spectrum

Absolutely. Glad others are enjoying this show!
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
May 4, 1972
Olympia Theater

They hit a groove really early on, and ride it out. Truly wonderful version.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 19, 1981

Yes.
