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

The Electric Theatre

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

Love Esau and this is a solid, tight, moseying version

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.
