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.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Highlight from the end of the show.

Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982

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

Great vocal outro—listen to Brent! The jam is also several minutes of nasty funk.
Jack Straw

Warfield Theater

Weather Report Suite

Public Hall

Maybe they're arguing that if they *had* played it, it would have been the best? Maybe there's a mysterious "lost set" out there with an even longer Dark Star? "I heaad a clip of it once, mannnn, it was killer."
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Quite an incredible version. Everyone sounds amazing.
