Not Fade Away
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Short, hot, right into a killer "Lovelight"

Candyman
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Premiere version from the middle/acoustic set. Audible buzz on the SBD, but worth the historic interest and for Jerry's wordless penultimate verse.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

Jerry stumbles a bit during the transition, but a powerful early version.

Highlight from the end of the show.

Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Kicks back into the cowboy vibe from earlier in the show, leads into a stellar "Stella."

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 2, 1978
Giants Stadium

Great, but Jerry does take a dive on the outro riff of "Fire." Solid otherwise though.

Cal Expo

I've been trying to branch out more and listen to some different years. Jerry hits peak after peak and sounds great.
Tennessee Jed
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Great singing, and Garcia's just having a great night.
Midnight Hour
March 21, 1970
Capitol Theater

I've grown to love these Ken Lee AUDs. It's the closest I've ever come to ever hearing what it was like to BE there.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Aug. 3, 1982
Starlight Theatre

Oooh, what a groove! Might check out the rest of the show...
