What makes this one stand out for me is that Bobby is really high on the mix and you get to hear all the cool stuff he's doing.

15 minutes long DS, pretty epic for 68. Foreshadows the great Dark Stars to come.

Not Fade Away
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

When I first heard the China Cat tease I couldn't believe my ears. I don't like making categorical statements like "this is the best version ever", there so many versions that I haven't heard, so I'll just say: check this one out, NOW!!! You won't regret it. :)

Heard this for the first time on the bus while going to college on rainy winter day. By the time it ended I couldn't breathe, my eyes welled with tears and an idiot grin crossed my face from ear to ear. My whole body was covered with gooseflesh. An unforgettable experience.
