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.

Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

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

Nice version! Tempo is different from the ones I'm most familiar with (77-ish), but I like this, and Jerry plays some interesting lines over the chord changes.

Heard some of the hype around this show and was expecting more, but it's a decent version.

I don't know if I'll vote for it yet, but this is one of a few performances in the first part of this set that I dug.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Absolutely worth a listen, if only because it's so unexpected.
