Turn On Your Love Light

Veterans Hall

Unusual and inventive jamming and Pig rapping, shame about the sound quality.

The Eleven
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

They waited eleven more years to play the Eleven jam one more time.

La Bamba
Nov. 11, 1970
49th Street Rock Palace

Sadly, completely unlistenable. But this is a song that will not be played again until 17 years later in the famous MSG 87' concert. So there's that.

Mexicali Blues
Nov. 12, 1971
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Señor Bobby McCheese screams: "Everybody Polka!" right after the first verse, turning the whole thing into a (fine) Bobfest.

You Win Again
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Jerry goes full Country...Bouncier feel than the other (rare) versions.

One More Saturday Night
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

played in what looks like complete darkness to a lucky audience that still yells "WE WANT THE DEAD !" after witnessing one of the greatest rock concerts of all time.
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

The easiest winner and top spot of all the damn songs (Lord knows how many...) in this wonderful site. 101th voter :)
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

No offense but why is this snoozefest taking the top spot from Veneta's version ? Is all of 73' played like this ? I'll take 72' and 71' versions every day of the week and twice on Sundays !
St. Stephen
Aug. 16, 1969
Yasgur's Farm

Just how, HOW and WHY on God's Green Earth is this not here ?! I mean forget about subjective factors like the performance and forget about the drugs and the weather for a second...this is HISTORY. What we have here is the most historically and culturally significant gig (by far) the band ever played ! Thank you Jerry, Pigpen and the boys for writing history and entertaining the Woodstock generation on such hazardous and dangerous conditions...Your legacy will live forever.
