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."

Hard to Handle

Fillmore East

Hot shit (and that "Okie" is too funny, given the context). It's been on my list, but I haven't heard anything from this run before. Can't wait to tuck in after hearing this!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Hot and light at the same time. Some deadly thumps from Phil too!
Here Comes Sunshine

San Diego International Sports Arena

Some nice playing! Have yet to hear a '73 "HCS" that's not worth a listen.

Totally agree, and there's some beautiful music during the transition. Grendel, you heard this yet?
Let It Grow

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Hell yeah! It's a thick version with everyone going off on it at once. And listen to Bob go!
