Glowing, warm encore with sweet Brent vocals/keys and solid Phil touches.

Horn Section of Fierro and Ellis with nice touches on this. Might be an acquired taste but if you like it check out the Legion of Mary stuff.

Deep Elem Blues
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

Psychedelic blues explosion - a real different let's get weird take. Isn't this the Matrix show?
Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 24, 1971
Seattle Center Arena

Yeah I like that jam too - sounds Allmanesque to me if slowed down a smidge - Jer just rips it up for a good 4mins.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 28, 1975
Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

Love this version and so different from all others run the NFA through for the warm up to get the complete flavor profile for these two - Jer's got his tone dialed in and both should surprise you. 0-ppppppppppppppppp89 cat just walked across the keys....
Not Fade Away
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Darkstar67 sent me here and I agree this one is nice and chewy!
The Other One

The Spectrum

Nicely mental later version tripped out Weir vocals and sounds like Brent was playing asteroids during the set break - so he broke out the effects here plus the feedback is a strong bonus.
