Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

St. Stephen

Fillmore East

Nice breakdown after the "Ladyfinger" part, standard St. Stephen for the year though, but it's tight.

The drum break is something i always come back to, in some ways '76 was like a new '68 for Bill & Mickey, this version is a good example.

Maybe my 2nd favourite of the tour right behind the Beat Club version. Mr. Garcia indeed, this one is intense but controlled and laid back at the same time. It's in the key of C, and it's their new single, and you should run out and buy it!

darkstar67 is 100% correct here: The most rocked out-groovin'-hip swinging Lovelight ever, this and the Hundred Year Hall versions are just too good; which makes it hard to pick the better one of the two.

djchall, with it's chord progression it's quite similiar to the MLB jams, and since the ending jam of the 9/21 DS is seen as the "first MLB" you could say this is a proto-MLB, it evokes that feeling for me atleast. Amazing jam nonetheless, and what a segue.
