Turn On Your Love Light

Kiel Opera House

Wonderful, highly underrated version that keeps the energy high all throughout. The jam after Pigs 'Box Back Nitties' line is killer

Exposition Center

While the recording isn't great, you can still hear and feel the intensity. Really great and worth checking out

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
March 12, 1981
Boston Garden

"Good luck to the Celtics" - Bobby. I believe in reference to the Pacers game (Celtics lost) great US Blues, Jerry doesn't fumble any vocals *I think*

Playin' In The Band
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Came to add how masterful the Reprise after UJB is, really excellent stuff
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

First Brent Era China Rider, starts off on a high. Audience is really into it
Shakedown Street
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Really solid version, with good AUD's out there. Long and funky
Samson and Delilah
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Just to add more, probably one of the finest Samson's of '79. Band is completely gelled together by the second set, complete fire with this one. Band sounds really great on the Glassberg AUD
