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

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Highlight from the end of the show.

Truckin'
Sept. 11, 1982

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

Must-hear jamming. Unbelievable power and energy. Pig adds a whole other level to the following Feedback.
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Fillmore West

Pure blues.
High Time

Patient, perfectly built version. One of the best.

Agree. The guests make this version.

Branford's solo is good, even Bobby's slide solo is better than average (although Bruce steps on him and then doesn't continue supporting). Gotta love this big three-segue opener.
