There's a beautiful 16mm video of this on YouTube -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf1dNTexCL4. Some absolutely beautiful runs by Jerry here

Turn On Your Love Light
June 14, 1968
Fillmore East

Not the best sound quality, but the quality shines through. Deserves a listing. Jerry and Bill K. on top form

Me and My Uncle
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

This needs more votes. It's confident, solid, well-delivered, and bouncy as hell.

Turn On Your Love Light
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

Dynamic. Not the best, perhaps, but a 25-minute version from DP16 that's definitely worth listing.

Caution
Feb. 24, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

An absolute monster. From 'Dick's Picks Vol. 22'. The way Pigpen's vocals are recorded, weaving in and out of the rhythm tracks, is truly haunting.

Playin' In The Band
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Barely 10 minutes long, but it packs an incredible punch. The whole thing is incandescent, and the band rips into it with a joy and a ruthlessness rare even for this beast of a song.
The Other One
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Love the joyous denouement of this rendition
Weather Report Suite
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Surprised no-one's mentioned Jerry's guitar yet -- its tone here is truly sublime. It's so rare to hear it sound like this. Practically intergalactic

Soooo cleeeeeeean (and Keith is fantastic on this one)
They Love Each Other
Oct. 19, 1973
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena
