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."

Yeah this is pretty nasty.

Tempo problems and a weird set ender.
Dark Star

Public Hall

There's a new upgrade of this at LMA. I've always loved the fully organic way this grows from the tuning and evolves into the two-headed dragon of Phil and Jerry's feedback.

Eyes > Estimated > Franklin's. Jerry seems like he runs out of a gas a bit during the between-verse jams, but then he doesn't.
