Good early version, (5th time played) The only time I saw it close the first set, worth a listen.

Rec Hall, Penn State U

The final jam goes at least once more around than usual. Weir is strumming like a mad man and Lesh as many power chords, great version.RT Vol. 3 No. 4

Turn On Your Love Light
April 27, 1971
Fillmore East

Another Monster Lovelight from 1970, I wish I could have seen just one of these roller coaster Lovelights, This one is one of the best of ’70, give it a listen.
The Music Never Stopped
Sept. 25, 1981
Stabler Arena

Just listened this version for the first time in 32 years, don’t make the same mistake. A titanic final conclusion, (harsh cut in the SBD) with Weir over the top, ended one the best first sets I saw live.
Darkness Jam
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

Just heard this one for the first time tonight, very short 1 minute or so, but very sweet rifts in the middle of a amazing, frenetic NFA> Darkness Jam> China Cat Jam> NFA. I need to nominate some others as well. This is an underrated, (unknown) Jam and more versions need to be nominated.
Alabama Getaway
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

It really was a well rehearsed debut, smoking out of the gate and one of the better transitions into Greatest. Glad I made the extra effort to hit this show at the end of a long tour.
Cold Rain and Snow
July 4, 1986
Rich Stadium
