Oakland Coliseum Arena

Jerry nails the lyrics, nice interplay with Brent and Jerry, and a great crowd reaction. Seriously fun version.

Rec Hall, Penn State U

Road Trips Vol. 3, No. 4. There is something about that Hammond Organ that makes this song like a church hymn. Strong version.

Turn On Your Love Light

Pelletier Farm

Nucking Futs way to end a show! Pig invites the crowd up to help in the rap on his mic and say whatever they want!

Explodes out of a rockin' St. Stephen and carries that energy all the way through to Lovelight. I'm shocked their equipment didn't spontaneously erupt

Fuzzy recording but the energy on this Stephen cannot be denied.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 2, 1978
Giants Stadium

I had to give this a listen after reading all the other comments, and I have to admit I was sleeping on this one. Maybe because the recording I have is a little fuzzy but, damn, Jerry starts building something with the first Scarlet jam and the boys follow along on the journey, and it is AWESOME! Must listen.
Friend of the Devil
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Great version. Probably my favorite of the Keith & Donna era.
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Holy Schmokin' Balls! To paraphrase the movie Dazed and Confused, "Don't tell me about no Hard to Handle from 8-6-71, man. Your brain couldn't handle that shit on strong acid."
Midnight Hour
Sept. 3, 1967
Dance Hall

This is Pig at his matchmaking best. "C'mon Bobby, go on down there and dance with that little girl." 10 minutes of him getting people of their asses and into the aisles dancing.
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

This one is so good, I wish I could vote for it twice.
