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

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."

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Yeah! Jerry's very patient, and I love how the transition slow morphs the ending "Scarlet" riff into the opening "Fire" riff.
Morning Dew
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

Entire sequence is a must-hear.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

Great stuff from a great year! The whole sequence is pretty obscene.
Dark Star

Fox Theater

Incredible version.
Bird Song
Oct. 18, 1972

There's some wonderful interplay going on during the jam.
