Not my favorite song but an excellent version. Bobby rocks out.

Not Fade Away
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

So hot my stereo caught on fire playing this. Great drums and guitar. I hadn’t listened to this show in a while but it is smoking.

Back when I was young, this tape was one of my favorites.
I've Been All Around This World

Fillmore East

I love these 1970 acoustic sets.
Cumberland Blues
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

Interesting about the non-transition. Still the best Cumberland. Candyman is too short and truncated to be the best on its own.

Listening to this now. 72 is a great year for this song. Don’t get me wrong, overall 77 is my favorite year, but some songs like this one were better in 72. Think Jack Straw. I would take a 72 Jack Straw any day. NFA I go to 77. I think Miss 1/2 Step on this night is as good as any from 77. Englishtown is my go to show and I still think this has it beat for 1/2 Step.
