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

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

Hill Auditorium

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

Selland Arena

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

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

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.

Hard to Handle

Davis Gym, Bucknell University

Bobby ripping it up from 3:00-4:30! I thought his playing in China Cat was good, but he nails this one down with a nine-pound hammer. Of course, Jerry is not about to be outplayed by baby Bob. The whole band sounds great. This one will keep you chooglin'! :-D

I dig the blues riff from Jerry right after the 7 min mark, which Bruce and Vince pick up on right away. Great, fun version!

Palace Theater

nice segues in from Sugar Magnolia and out to NFA, in addition to the killer playing in this version. The Betty board sounds great, as usual!

Date is actually 3/23/92 - Any way to correct this?

I love Jerry's vocal in addition to the extra jams on the tail of this version
