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."

Came back around to this one. They're rock and roll wizards.
The Other One
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Powerful and hypnotic.
Alligator
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Hell yes! Smoking great jam (a la 12/12/69 or 4/15/70) that dissolves into a nice space.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Nice little version that ends with a High Times tease.

There's a great Jerry/Bobby space > a long duet leading into Iko. Absolutely worth a listen to hear this interplay.
