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."

Shakedown Street

Long Beach Arena

Is this the right date, cuse man?
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Holy shit, how was this not on here already?! Great spot!
Jack Straw
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Incredible version on its own, and for the transition to "Franklin's."
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

The groove they hit in the middle of that is unreal.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

IMHO, I prefer this one to the two May versions listed above, and the Franklin's is just jubilant. The transitions around and between these tunes are incredible as well.
