Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 26, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Agree with all said above. Quite surprised this hadn't been posted yet. Good catch. Live/Dead is a fantastic compilation, this lovelight has a real infectious tone. Pigpen's rap is a classic, but the real reason that this version is kept in such high regard is the thunderous jamming.

A ripper for sure. This is probably one of the longest version they ever played, but they nail it. What a fucking bust out!!!!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Paramount Theatre

This show is easily one of my favorites of 1977. Superb performance, and this Scarlet<Fire deserves of a spot in the all-time greats. Slinky and stealthy transition that will steal your face no matter what.

They slammed the gas and never let up this show, torrent of heavy psychedelic notes.
