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.

Next Time You See Me
June 6, 1970
Fillmore West

Jerry's got the hot hands, and Pigpen relishes trading solos with him. A little faster than other versions.
Black Throated Wind
Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre

That band drop-out is weird... it occurs right after Bobby sings the St. Louis line, so maybe it was some hometown freaks invading the stage to show off? Anyway, props to Bobby for keeping the song on track.
One More Saturday Night
Oct. 24, 1971
Easttown Theatre

Keith also propels this version along with Phil and Billy.
Friend of the Devil
June 20, 1980
West High Auditorium

Very nice solo by Brent, and then Jerry completes the solo break in masterful fashion. Something about the Summer Solstice at the Arctic Circle must have suited an ol' grizzly like Jerome ;)
Little Red Rooster
April 22, 1986
Berkeley Community Theatre

NSFW - Brent's definitely got a bad case of the blues here, but it pays off with some heartfelt vocals and B-3 playing.
