Not Fade Away
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"
5
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.
2
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.
7
Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

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

Morning Dew
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

I've been conditioned to hear that transition out of Eyes into China Doll (and for a second it sounded like they weren't sure which one they were going to hit). It's a yowza of a Dew!
Eyes Of The World
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

They got the groove right on.
Me and Bobby McGee
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

This is one of those instances where Bobby's cowboy song fits just right into what's going on in the set, and Garcia's particularly sensitive behind him.
Wharf Rat
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

When they get the tempo of Wharf Rat just right, it's eerie how similar it sounds to Dark Star.
Truckin'
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Killer stuff. The transition and jam on the WRS material are all-time.
