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
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Highlight from the end of the show.
7
Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Kicks back into the cowboy vibe from earlier in the show, leads into a stellar "Stella."

I agree with the above, and want to add that if you love 80s releases and/or matrices, it's worth getting just to they put out more. /soapbox.

This is when I hear Garcia really stepping out and trying some new ideas, which infuses the rest of the night with some serious magic. Three songs in (and the first two ain't bad either!)!

It sounded like Jerry was a bit vocally fatigued, but then he kicked on the effects and shreds. Absolutely worth a listen.

Yes! Those are some great synth tones, and they mesh very well with the tone Garcia's dialing in tonight. Also some nice interplay between J G, Brent, and Bobby.

Fillmore East

This whole thing is too funny in context.
