Contemplative smooth vocal section, great filling. Morphing into a perfectly paced water-fall of fingerpicking energy.

Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 26, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Agree with all said above. Quite surprised this hadn't been posted yet. Good catch. Live/Dead is a fantastic compilation, this lovelight has a real infectious tone. Pigpen's rap is a classic, but the real reason that this version is kept in such high regard is the thunderous jamming.

A ripper for sure. This is probably one of the longest version they ever played, but they nail it. What a fucking bust out!!!!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This show is easily one of my favorites of 1977. Superb performance, and this Scarlet<Fire deserves of a spot in the all-time greats. Slinky and stealthy transition that will steal your face no matter what.
The Other One

Avalon Ballroom

They slammed the gas and never let up this show, torrent of heavy psychedelic notes.
