Turn On Your Love Light

Fillmore East

Absolute madness. Pigpen takes the Hammond for an extended stroll, and Jerry ends up on an acoustic before it's over.

You got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good

Acoustic guitar gunslingers.

Another piece of awesome slightly obscured by being a 1970 audience recording.

The benediction at the end of this night's religious experience.

yah, that's the one - I'd put the PCRP version of 3/21/70 up against any other era aud recording - it compares well against 8/6/71, and I know that's saying a mouthful. Aud recordings where the audience is audible, yet manage to draw you into the recording rather than make it obnoxious are a beautiful thing.

on Archive, go with the matrix version - one of those 'best of both worlds' kinda things.

If you're listening on Archive.org, check other copies and go with the second option that has the 'audience' tag - it has the NRPS set.

Thanks man - we do seem to land on the same dates quite a bit, don't we ;^)
It's A Man's World

Great news, man - I give the 'vanilla' audience and the matrix both a regular spin, so another further re-twiddled version would be welcome too
