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.

Springfield Civic Center

Heavy, brute accompaniment on the "blue-light cheap motel" bridge, contrasting with the delicacy of the rest of the performance.
Beat it on Down The Line
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Bill is getting teased by some impatient guitarists prior to the count-in ;-)
The Music Never Stopped
April 27, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

Given a good thrashing by the whole band.
West L.A. Fadeaway
Dec. 13, 1992
Oakland Coliseum

Vince sounds great here and gets to shine throughout this first set - maybe he had friends and family in the audience?
Little Red Rooster
March 21, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Brent's organ solo, but also Jerry's slide sustain in the first solo. Thank you, Charlie Miller.
