The Other One
The Cryptical following "he had to die" refrain is stunning. Try not to be washed away by Mickey and Billy's percussive tide. Cosmic Chuck ain'

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Jerry stumbles a bit during the transition, but a powerful early version.
5
Candyman
Premiere version from the middle/acoustic set. Audible buzz on the SBD, but worth the historic interest and for Jerry's wordless penultimate verse.
3
Not Fade Away
Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"
4
Turn On Your Love Light
NFA > Lovelight. Pigpen and Bobby trade ideas towards the end.
5
Katie Mae
What a treat.
6
Cosmic Charlie
Comes out of a powerful early "TOO."
7
Dancin' in the Streets
Churning and meandering, flowing tightening up and raveling back
7
Cryptical Envelopment
Nice patient build-up prior to classic Cryptical explosion!

Friend of the Devil
Fast acoustic pickin' with alternative lyrics. Sounds almost like a 12-string in places. Is that possible?

Wake Up Little Susie
This tune is so sweet
1
Black Peter
Laid back acoustic

Uncle John's Band
Another great acoustic version
