Turn On Your Love Light

Kiel Opera House

Wonderful, highly underrated version that keeps the energy high all throughout. The jam after Pigs 'Box Back Nitties' line is killer

Exposition Center

While the recording isn't great, you can still hear and feel the intensity. Really great and worth checking out

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
March 12, 1981
Boston Garden

"Good luck to the Celtics" - Bobby. I believe in reference to the Pacers game (Celtics lost) great US Blues, Jerry doesn't fumble any vocals *I think*

Alabama Getaway

Holy shit HOT Alabama despite the mix issues as typical with the first song. One of the best??? Underrated for sure standing at 5 votes as of me writing this

Really great 2nd set opening Terrapin with great jamming and an interesting segue into Dewimmina
