I mean yeah it's squeezed between Terrapin and Werewolves in this legendary triple encore, but full of '78 energy

Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

Discovered this dark star awhile ago and has been my favorite ever since. Just now listened to the full show (what’s available) on its 50th anniversary and my goodness, it’s easily one of the best shows I’ve ever heard. From the Morning Dew through this spectacular Lovelight is just perfect Grateful Dead music to my ears.

Nope. They played this on the 19th too, just not a great source available. But this version is smoking hot and like aweissan said some top tier guitar interplay

Audio from the end of the O1 cuts to an audience recording and this version is awesome for the clapping in the background! Can't imagine being in this small music hall seeing this band....Sugar Mags is hot hot hot
