Capitol Theatre

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.

Eyes Of The World
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

A fantastic version, but suffers from recording problems after the song really gets going. A shame -- I think the beautifully recorded 09/03 show retains its edge.
Tennessee Jed
Feb. 26, 1973
Pershing Municipal Auditorium

It isn't just Phil's vocals that're on point -- Jerry's voice is bursting with sly exuberance. One of the best vocal deliveries of this song, plus a superbly bouncy groove, impeccable band work and really excellent guitar breaks towards the end. Whole show was stunningly well recorded, too.
The Wheel
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

The first minute or so, before the vocals, is gorgeous; the rest is OK, could be a bit fuller and more committed vocally though.
Good Lovin'
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

This is a superb, energetic version -- but noteworthy also because of that face-stealing segue from one of the best FOTMs they ever did -- a FOTM that easily competes with the Barton one.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

This is easily louder and more fiery than Barton, though for me Barton retains the edge for its stateliness and dynamics.
