Turn On Your Love Light
Nov. 15, 1969
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!

Good Lovin'

Lanai Theater

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.

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.
