Turn On Your Love Light

RFK Stadium

Hornsby always makes Jerry play better. Here's the AUD I've been loving: https://archive.org/details/gd1991-06-14.sennME80.wklitz.94371.flac16

Big Railroad Blues

I don't know who was recording these, but Phil sounds incredible. The quality of the performance reminds me of what I love about those long Europe '72 sets when they're just playing every part of everything really well.

Phil! Also neat for the early version (?) of the lyrics.

Berkeley Community Theater

The thing that strikes me most about this recording is just how *great* everything sounds, Jerry and Phil's tone quality in particular. It's like they're playing in my living room.
Bird Song
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

I think phayden makes a good point– the jams in Bird Song are often rather Dark Star-like, and I doubt they needed another song with jam potential in this same key (PITB, Rider, Bird Song, Dew, etc.). I'm guessing something similar happened with Here Comes Sunshine, but speak up if it was something else.

This is one of those serious Stars that'll put the zap on your brain in the right state.
