Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 27, 1969
Labor Temple

I don't claim to be the Heady Version Police, but this is way, way, to low on votes, and that's just plane wrong! Yes, Pig's doing more singing then talking. But this is an energetc instermental bomb, cyclone. Just listen!

Jerry's guitar phrasing on this version is as good as it got for this song; inventive and inspired. This is just one of the reasons this may be my favorite Dark Star, and that's saying something. If you have'nt listened to this version, or the whole show for that matter, do so now! The transition into the eleven is seemless then mind blowing! It's on Dicks Picks 26, maybe there are other options.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 23, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

The Miller source was the way to go, thanks DS67. This show went from unlistenable to prestene! This China Rider was a Phil showcase for sure, as was the whole show. This one deserves more attention. I've been listening to this whole show, it's a real gem!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Fillmore East

Clean and crip version with single kit precision. Good find, DS67!
Morning Dew

Strand Lyceum

Pig on Organ, Jerry deliverng the most emotive lyric and everyone else doing exactly what they needed to do, makes this, arguably, the greatest version of this song.
