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.

Stella Blue
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Highlight from the end of the show.
7
Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

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