Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

If you like the slow-groove versions of the early Brent era, like 11/2/1979, 5/15/80, and 5/8/81, you will really like this one. Jerry digs in hard.

Promised Land
June 11, 1993
Buckeye Lake Music Center

not many heady versions from 1993, but this one is worth hearing. Vince gets a lengthier piano solo, and both of Jerry's solos feel right at home.

You Win Again
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Jerry calls for Keith to take the solo during this version, which must have boosted Keith's confidence.

El Paso

Selland Arena

Phil's playing makes this a standout version, like many of the performances at this show

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 31, 1970
School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

Raw early version, the jamming in the final :30 hints at the song's potential, which twould be realized the following weekend in Port Chester.

Days Between
May 21, 1995
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

All five musicians provide outstanding dynamic accompaniment for Jerry's stirring, elegiac vocal and guitar solo. Guaranteed to get you right in the feels.
Eyes Of The World
May 21, 1995
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is a dead ringer for the intro of this version (or vice versa).
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 29, 1993
Boston Garden

The Lightning Bolt guitar was well suited for this ballad, and Jerry dances elegantly through the chord changes here, both in the solo and the outro. Too bad Bob has some sort of seizure during the last chorus around 4:20.
Might As Well
March 30, 1983
Warfield Theatre

loose and playful
Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

Jerry's feedback whistle at around 6:15, bringing this freight train into the station. Outstanding performance.
