Turn On Your Love Light

This is The Dead at peak performance level. Cataclysmic version. Everyone is ON. Explorative and not a beat missed. Easily top 5 of 69.

Nice early electric version. Always preferred this key for Dire Wolf compared to when they changed it in the later years. Just right. Nice version.

Takes you right to Chicago. Jerry’s playing emulates the blues greats. Hard rocking version that reminds me of a Junior Wells cut. Highly recommend.

Haunting organ playing. Crystalline and psychedelic early version that feels very spacey. Great vocal delivery.

Very nice solo from Jerry. Phil is all over this as well, some great melodic bass playing that compliments the song very well.

Yeah, this is a good one. I always love a great Jack a Roe and this certainly qualifies. The music embodies the words.
The Other One

Civic Auditorium

MONSTEROUS. The drums after cryptical are completely demented and full of unnatural power. Mickey and Bill embody the Ouroboros. Very formless, at times reminds me of My Favorite Things. Love Bobby's energy on this too. Plain awesome. The drum solo made my day. Thank you for the suggestion cgarces.
Eyes Of The World

Auditorium Theatre

Start from here to experience a truly life changing jam. Blissful Eyes that really gets out there. A whirlwind of imaginative melodic ideas that leads into a deep jam introduced by Phil with his monumental tone as the drummers take us into deep space, only for us to find that happiness is indeed drumming. Stellar. Check out Hunters Trix for the best sounding version of this show.

Why I love the Grateful Goddamn Dead.

Glorious China>Rider. Keith tears the house down as you can feel the entire band catching on to this wave of energy. So good.
