If you try, sometimes you get what you need... Okay, man if you can get past the hiss, and some rehearsing on Casey Jones & Easy Wind, by the time you get to Dark Star, the DEAD know where they are and what they are doing. Classic 1969 Pigpen. 27 minutes and 9 seconds long, Turn On Your Love Light doesn't disappoint. It's so nice to hear Pigpen again!

I'm A Givin' Out A 5 To Counter Some Complacent A** "Dead Heads". Recorded Outside In 1969 By Bear Transferred By The Legendary Tom Banjo. Think For A Moment In These Superficial Times, Of The Pedigree Of This Recording.Even With It's Imperfections. We Are Blessed To Be Able To Listen To It Today And Let This Wonderful Performance Soak Through The Bilge That Is The Events Of The World Today. Dark Star Cleanses,St. Stephen Rinses And The Eleven Power Washes Away The Issues Of The Day.
- ★★★★★ · A special · Mike Ashenfelder · 2005
The "Dark Star" is a standard, rote version right up to the middle and then it takes a beautiful right turn into something special, spacey, and pensive. Everyone listening, everyone choosing their notes carefully, no crowding. Tom Constanten added such a terrific dimension to the band.
