From the famous "ravenspace" show; the only version in which the main theme is reprised+lots of Bob yelling

Perfection. The "comes a time" for this show gets all the attention but this SOF is just as grand

Part of a 2nd set for the ages; flows in & out of PITB teases & then reprises into killer Dew

Hold on tight!

Sweet bass drop-ins by Phil on intro; extended Garcia solos in bridge jam; very intense and fun

Fresh from spinning this, arrived to rave about it, expecting it to be easily northward of 30 votes, and real disappointed to find it still in the teens. This has so many things going for it besides the obvious (late ‘73) not the least of which is a super sweet 2 minute intro, almost unheard of in the song’s debut year. Jerry just slays the main jams, nails the lyrics, & Phil grooves out after that. Oodles of great Eyes, I know, but this one is far better than a lot of others above it right now.

I think I like this one even a bit more than the December TN performance. The jam is just so picture perfect and lovely while still being intense and Ga4cia is so way into the vox, delivering the goods without even one lost lyric.

This is how I like it. No offense to Pig, but the versions where he raps to the audience & tries to get people to hook up are just too cheesy for me. It's a shtick and he basically repeated himself with slight variations whenever he did it. But in this case the band isn't in a ballroom like the Avalon or wherever and he can't address people on the floor cuz they're all in seats in an old school concert hall so instead he does his thing but without the hook-up rap and it gives the band such a better opportunity to shine and boy do they ever. There are some stretches where it's all Garcia but many more where Bob's rhythm really moves things along and the real star is Billy, who's just in an unbelievable zone here.Far and away my favorite Lovelight, even though I think the tune had a nice revival in the early 90's especially w/Branford chipping in on sax. This is the one, though.

^^^^ Sounds better than ever! Thanks for the heads up, Darkstar67.

Encore version from a grossly overlooked '76 masterpiece of a show. Phil and the drummers take no prisoners.
