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

UNBEATABLE.

A perfect '76 take on the song, groovin' boogie! Bobby is excellent.

As good as it gets. Perfect companion to a nug.
Turn On Your Love Light
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Deep jams, focused and soulful. I am quite the Lovelight-enthusiast, and this one i certainly a favourite of mine. A particular highlight is when they all carefully fall back into the theme, with this dreamy quality no other Lovelight (that i've heard) can present. From 17:46 until the end is total heaven. "Let it shine!"
Dark Star
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

Timeless, ethereal, unreal, flowing and distant but dearly intimate at the same time. The absolute benchmark Dark Star. Many Dark Stars are as good, (or better, depends on subjective taste) but this is the first one that breached that divine veil of their 70s jams.
