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

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

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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Superb. Consistently melodically inspired throughout its 14-minute duration.
Morning Dew

Salt Palace

The dynamics of this version are devastating. Jerry gets terrifyingly quiet at points, but the climactic crescendo kicks it into the stratosphere.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

This one needs more love. It's fiery, beautiful, committed, and the vocals are absolutely fantastic, especially from halfway in. Truly one of the best versions they ever did. It's dynamic AND gorgeous. That piano! That guitar!
St. Stephen
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

How is this not higher? The second half is fantastic! And otherwise, it's such a laid-back jam!
Sugar Magnolia
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

C'mon, people - this one's undeniably a great version, even if not the best.
