Morning Dew

Fillmore West

What a powerful opener. I used to find it too fast, but now I love it. Jerry's vocals are so emotive during the softer parts.
Turn On Your Love Light

Fillmore West

Bob's falsetto on "come one PLEAAAAAAASE" during the "shine on me" coda is awesome! Great version.
The Eleven

I'm guessing it was vinyl length restrictions that put the Eleven > Love Light from the 26th on Live/Dead instead of the 27th versions? Because the 27th versions sound far better to me.

This wasn't played on the 27th...
They Love Each Other

I prefer the fast versions, so I disagree with this being #1, but it is undoubtedly a great version and one of the best of the slow versions.
