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
Sept. 11, 1982
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."

Space
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Honest terminology question: I always thought Space was the post-hiatus, (usually) post-drums bit?
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This needs some love, it's a killer version.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Incredible version. Outstanding jam, and things fall apart perfectly into GDTRFB.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Billy is smoking!
Here Comes Sunshine
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

This whole show looks like it needs some love. Less jamming on the earlier versions, obviously, but really well-done.
