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.

Too meandering, 4/16, 4/21, 5/3, and 5/13 are all much better versions from the Europe tour. Take 4/21 for example, one of the best TOOs of '72, but unfortunately overlooked. The Truckin' that precedes this and the following Morning Dew and Sing Me Back Home are all A+ versions, but this TOO is the weakest of the bunch.

I've heard this one a few times and i've always liked it, but this last listen really opened my eyes to this version. It's heavenly.

When Jerry peaks the transition.. Has to be one of the greatest moments they ever had.
