Not Fade Away
Aug. 30, 1980
The Spectrum

If you like the slow-groove versions of the early Brent era, like 11/2/1979, 5/15/80, and 5/8/81, you will really like this one. Jerry digs in hard.

Promised Land

Buckeye Lake Music Center

not many heady versions from 1993, but this one is worth hearing. Vince gets a lengthier piano solo, and both of Jerry's solos feel right at home.

You Win Again
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Jerry calls for Keith to take the solo during this version, which must have boosted Keith's confidence.

Phil's playing makes this a standout version, like many of the performances at this show

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 31, 1970
School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

Raw early version, the jamming in the final :30 hints at the song's potential, which twould be realized the following weekend in Port Chester.

DS67, if you're checking out more from this show, I can recommend this. Unusual outro jam on Saint, it sounds to me like Jerry drops out and Bobby takes the lead. Bobby sounds great throughout - making up for the TMNS travesty in set one ;-)

Disco was already dead, but you wouldn't know by listening to this version - very danceable.

Hornsby and Jerry start playing the chug-a-lug Around and Around rhythm after the "Pearly's been true" verse at 6:15, leading into a rocking 2 1/2 minute jam.

"May This Be Love" - Mickey is having some fun with a sample of Hendrix's guitar intro from 2:45-4:30. Then the Neville Bros join at around 7:00 for some excellent percussion jamming. Exceptional Drums!
