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.

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.

Jerry's first guitar break from 1:48-1:55... I think he's ready to play :-o

Tighten Up! Gets heavier from 9:00-11:00, and again at the very end. More people should hear this version!
And We Bid You Goodnight

Boston Garden

Donna's voice floating over the others' harmonies gives me feels.

Audible laughter from Jerry during his vocal in an otherwise standard performance. Wonder what was making him crack up - was Bobby making funny faces at him again? Did someone ride a go-kart across the stage?

Orpheum Theatre

Crowd cheers for Keith and Jerry after their solos, nice to hear on the AUD matrix. Great version, outstanding show.
