Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Jerry is on FIRE on this one, and the others are right there with him stride for stride. Some seriously hot soloing.

Great solos by Pig and Jerry as others have said. Jerry's is so authoritative! Bob is doing some really neat stuff too btw...

What a powerful opener. I used to find it too fast, but now I love it. Jerry's vocals are so emotive during the softer parts.

Bob's falsetto on "come one PLEAAAAAAASE" during the "shine on me" coda is awesome! Great version.
The Eleven

I'm guessing it was vinyl length restrictions that put the Eleven > Love Light from the 26th on Live/Dead instead of the 27th versions? Because the 27th versions sound far better to me.
