- ★★★★★ · Turn ON Your Lovelight! · Jose Gaspar · 2006
The classic lineup doing what they did best: the half-hour take of "Turn On Your Lovelight" and monster "Dark Star" version belong in every Deadhead's collection as reminders of what this group was about, particularly now that the unthinkable has happened and their sounboard tapes are locked up in a digital rights management vault. I don't rate this show on the technical merits of the recording, which is excellent, given the circumstances.

The energy in this performance is truly astounding. An amazing China Cat, Lovelight, Sitting On Top Of The World even. The explosion into to The Other One is one for the books, and I haven't made it to Dark Star yet. I'm not going to quibble about the quality. For an audience from this era to be this listenable at all, I'm thankful. If a SBD of this exists in the vault, it needs to be released for the good of mankind.

OMG 1969... I forget, after a while of fishing up in the years (like the 1980's), how insanely intense the ancient stuff is... so excited this early stuff keeps coming up, after I thought I'd heard it all... I haven't even heard as far as the Star yet, but The Other One twists and runs sooooo hard, that you'd swear it's gonna cut ya! And they drop the Cryptical Reprise from so high and quiet that you know the detonation'll just slay - OW! Very exciting stuff indeed.
