Turn On Your Love Light
June 20, 1969
Fillmore East

Absolute madness. Pigpen takes the Hammond for an extended stroll, and Jerry ends up on an acoustic before it's over.

You got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good

Acoustic guitar gunslingers.

Another piece of awesome slightly obscured by being a 1970 audience recording.

Alligator

Hints of St. Stephen, We Bid You, Darkness Jam...all this is missing is a generous helping of kitchen sink.
The Other One
Dec. 1, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Every time I listen to this, I end up sticky, confused, smiling, and with a 20 minute gap in my memory.
Candyman

Capitol Theater

This one has soul to spare, and Lagin on clavichord-a-ma-jigger adds an interesting layer.
Box of Rain
Sept. 17, 1970
Fillmore East

The recording sounds like you're listening to it on your neighbor's stereo, underwater, but....who cares. Goddamn, this is beautiful.

If you're listening on Archive, check the 'other copies' link - the Marty Weinberg is overall more listenable. Also, weird howler monkey noises.
