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
Jan. 17, 1970
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.

Dark Star

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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

This one is now released on the bonus disk on Dave’s Picks Vol 12, we almost have the entire show. If a shame cause if should be heard as it should, as complete show, as this is a fine show. With a very fine Scarlet>Fire, probably ranked where is should be in top twenty for 77’, but then I imagine all Scarlet>Fire’s from 77’ have been nominated.
Cold Rain and Snow
Nov. 4, 1977
Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

1st version of 77’, Jerry slams into it right out of Samson, no drums closing, no final vocal refrain, right into Cold Rain. Great show, Great version. Just released on Dave’ Pick’s Vol 12 and should have some more votes. This is the first night of one of the best weekend runs in the Dead’s history, Check all out “Colgate-Rochester-Binghamton” should have been released as a box set, throw in Toronto as well.
Candyman
March 24, 1988
Omni Coliseum

I was at this show as well, one of my definitive “Late Inning” moments, Jerry had everyone’s attention.
Sing Me Back Home
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

My favorite version, from one of the best shows. Will now need to give 5/26/72 a listen.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 1, 1979
Holleder Memorial Stadium

Listen again, this is the sh*#, Top 10 No Doubt. VOTE
