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.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Love the slowing down in tempo from a raging Eleven. The echo of the Shrine Auditorium really makes each notes of Jerrys guitar sting you. But in a good way.
The Other One
April 21, 1972
Beat Club

The youtube video is by far better in sound than the archive links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Uu57h7H18 I just have to comment here again; the Truckin > Other One sequence here is top 5 of all time, its so focused and exploratory, and the short but divine jam after the second verse of TOO is so inspired, amazing playing.
Morning Dew
Dec. 31, 1972
Winterland Arena

Jerrys voice is so emotional and seemless in this version, one of my favourites.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This grooves alright. Thanks Grendel!
