Not Fade Away

Assembly Hall

Hits a great groove early on, with some cool interplay before the first verse.

If you like some of Jerry's guitar effects from early versions of "Dark Star," give this a listen! Short but sweet.

Solid version.

Gimme Some Lovin'

Cool transition from "Space," and the organ in the intro is hot. Leads into a smoking "Watchtower"

Hide your kids from this super heady space, lest you give them nightmares.

Dark Star
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Any chance you could scan/share this with a brother? You've completely sold me on this show and it's one of my new favorites, I'd love to see his walkthrough.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

One of the things that sets this version ahead of some of the other stellar May S>Fs is how absolutely dialed in Jerry's tone is. Listen to it bounce off the hall throughout the Fire.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

For me, this is when the whole show locks in. It's all legitimately good after this, and great in parts, but I really hear the band locking in beginning here.
Beat it on Down The Line
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

If you need a soundtrack for Derby today, spin this!
Childhood's End
Aug. 1, 1994
The Palace

Haha fair enough. I guess I can't really talk, since I never experienced it live. I just wanted to give Phil the benefit of the doubt (let's face it, Jerry's vocals aren't stellar from this period either). Boogie on friend!
