Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 23, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Another great 1970 Lovelight, if you don’t know this show, spin it. Very mellow island vibe, great Lovelight to close.

Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 1, 1970
The Warehouse

Very surprised this one is not listed, 38 Mins, one of the longest. Jerry slide solos, Peter Green wailing, and of course Pigpen at his peak.

The Eleven

Oregon State University

The classic Live Dead sequence with my new favorite “The Eleven”, just a little more controlled, in a laid back, non-frenzied pace. Give it a listen.

Oregon State University

Surprised this version is not on the list the classic Live Dead sequence all very well played. This 20 min. DS has a short early Feeling Groovy Jam.

Darkness Jam

Santa Rosa Fairgrounds

Also out of GDTR, (which is very mellow), this is a very nice, (again short), Darkness Jam. I just love this melody.

Great 90's version for sure, the one with the most votes, yes, but the BEST ever hardly.

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Great version, the bad cut in the SBD is hard to overlook, but give it a listen. Spring ’78 has some of the most impassioned singing by Garcia ever.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Very strong vocals by Weir, the middle jam is very long and the concluding vocals are exceptional, with Weir growling “My Lightning Too”, great version.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

By far the most fun ever captured on video, chech out the Pete Thownsend windmills during Truckin.
Brown Eyed Women

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Great Brown Eyen Women, vocals are sung with gusto and a great guitar run after “Drink down a bottle and you’re ready to kill” line. More songs from RPI should be on the list, it a GREAT show.
