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.

Cryptical Envelopment
Dec. 29, 1968
Gulfstream Park Race Track

Garcia in your face, way up in the mix. This is apparently a Cryptical Reprise only, but the setlist tells the tale, and the quality of the CM remaster backs it up and then some! Great dynamics from the band during the jam as well.

LOL, the band pulls the rug out from under Bobby as he is about to sing one more chorus.

Rhythm Devils adding a little more rock-steady feeling to the final choruses, worth checking out.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
April 6, 1984
Aladdin Theater

DS67, if you're checking out more from this show, I can recommend this. Unusual outro jam on Saint, it sounds to me like Jerry drops out and Bobby takes the lead. Bobby sounds great throughout - making up for the TMNS travesty in set one ;-)
