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."

Ooph, that cut hurts.
Dancin' in the Streets
May 6, 1970
Kresge Plaza - MIT

A Dancin' that's really a Dark Star? A Dark Star that's really a Dancin'? Just exactly perfect either way.

Agreed, there are some really impressive moments here.
He's Gone

Hofheinz Pavilion

Truly lovely version in need of some love. Swings, sizzles, and souls throughout.
