Nice wandering version. Leads into a solid Spanish Jam and an epic US Blues

Just the Let it Grow portion, but the jam is solid. Nice short drums in the middle of this one

Turn On Your Love Light
April 27, 1969
Labor Temple

This one is hot. Jerry gets an Allman brothers slide-type feel at the end of the first Lovelight. Very cool
Mountains of the Moon
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre

Outro jam on this is everything. Broody, melodic psychedelic soup
Brother Esau

Philadelphia Civic Center

Love Esau and this is a solid, tight, moseying version
Feel Like A Stranger

Philadelphia Civic Center

This version is sweaty... super funk jam, killer opener
Black Throated Wind

Delta Center

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.
