Turn On Your Love Light

Veterans Hall

Unusual and inventive jamming and Pig rapping, shame about the sound quality.

The Eleven

Oakland Auditorium

They waited eleven more years to play the Eleven jam one more time.

La Bamba
Nov. 11, 1970
49th Street Rock Palace

Sadly, completely unlistenable. But this is a song that will not be played again until 17 years later in the famous MSG 87' concert. So there's that.

Mexicali Blues
Nov. 12, 1971
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Señor Bobby McCheese screams: "Everybody Polka!" right after the first verse, turning the whole thing into a (fine) Bobfest.

You Win Again
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Jerry goes full Country...Bouncier feel than the other (rare) versions.

Cryptical Envelopment
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

It's Arabic, Ernie, not Persian. If you are going to joke using foreign languages at least use the correct one.
Loser
July 12, 1987
Giants Stadium

So what does Weir's funky chord work gives this version again?
Dark Star
April 15, 1969
The Music Box

First appearence of the Main Ten (aka proto Playin')
Promised Land
April 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre

I think it's Phil on lead guitar and Mickey/Bill on vocals
Loser
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

So much better (vocal-wise) than most of the Losers classed higher than on the list.
