Turn On Your Love Light

Lanai Theater

Downright TRIBAL! If this had better sound quality it would be considered one of the best of '69. Helluva ride, clocking in at 42 minutes. Spin it!

Embryonic Good Lovin', but fascinating thinking of how Good Lovin' transformed over the next two years.

Sweet, sweet Pig. So laid back, this Easy Wind is sleazy as should be.

Truckin'
April 17, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

As the jam is about to go into the verse reprise, Keith and Bob fire up a little two-chord that explodes before finally returning to the verse again. Really groovy version, even more so than other Europe versions. But the Keith/Bob explosion at before the verse reprise is hella fun. EDIT: I have to add this and the 5/3 Truckin's are the the best ones from the tour, they execute them perfectly (apart from Bob missing a line in this one, but the mind-gazzling jam outweighs that by a ton.)

Easy to forget what you're doing when listening to this version. The faster we go, the rounder we get!
