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

Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"

Candyman

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.

Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Jerry stumbles a bit during the transition, but a powerful early version.

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."

Fantastic version. I got turned on to the show from the previous night which is also killer and absolutely worth checking out.

Nice slow groove. Great boogie groove with good lyrical Garcia. Upvote.

Overall I thought most of the first set was pretty bland, and while the second set got off to a slow start, it features some good playing. If you're a fan of this tour, this ending sequence is worth checking out.

Overall this show isn't great, but Brent is a man possessed, and his solo and scatting are why I posted this. Worth going through this tour just to hear Brent!
