Wild version, Keith is a house afire!
Turn On Your Love Light

Fillmore West

At 15:00 min mark Bobby and Pigpen begin one of the most raging crescendos you will ever hear! Pure energy fire!
Terrapin Station
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

I totally agree with the other commenter. The Dew that follows this is breathtaking and heartbreaking. The fact that it's intro is this beautiful Terrapin gives this my vote!

This one has a very different feel. Jerry and Bobby trade lead on verses. Cool version for sure. Early and awesome!

Stephen Stills is with them for this one. The crowd goes crazy after this ends, worth a listen just for that.
