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.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

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."

Jerry totally bungles the riff into Slipknot, but then recovers for a great jam.

Just wanted to tell you I tuned into your radio show last week! I couldn't hear it all (streaming problems), but loved what I could hear! Sweet job man.

Oh shit how have I not commented on this sooner? This is a killer jam and all-time stuff. I've dug this for a long time and it holds up. Does not disappoint.
