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."

The Other One
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

A must-hear show for fans of any era.
Cryptical Envelopment
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Set I is phenomenal stuff, set II is somehow even more intense, more psychedelic.
Death Don't Have No Mercy
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Love me some Jerry blues. Does not disappoint!
The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

This whole first set is better than what other bands can cobble together on a whole tour.
St. Stephen
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

These Stephen's have an energy unmatched in later eras. While serves as a respite of sorts between the DS and Eleven, the energy level remains off the charts.
