30. Not Fade Away -} Turn On Your Lovelight - Grateful Dead - 9/19/70 - U31DoD 2012 Edition

[@uncleskipsprairiejustice9367]

Saw them on this tour. At the Pasadenic Civic. So much pot smoke in the air, the cops didn't even bother busting anybody. They just came by and told us to put it out. Which we did for about a minute. The Dead tore it up. They particularly killed on Easy Wind, but the whole show was a f**kin rager. In those days they played with this kind of reckless ferocity, this kind of blazing, furious joy. When I listen now, that's what I remember. They were unpolished but they were also totally immersed. No posing, no mailing it in. No pandering. Just roaring off the stage like a storm. To me "Love light" is one of those rock and roll roots songs, like Johnny B Goode or Hound Dog, one of those songs that kind of defined the music. No wonder, of all the R and B songs they could have covered, they covered that one.

Thanks for the wise words Uncle Skip

Lovelight is just too good man

[@stevepanetta3500]

I didn't hit the scene until the mid-80s, but I love these earlier shows. Someone described it to me as "primal Dead". So fitting.

[@Uuu44]

Thank you for the insight, love the personal experience from the show!

[@zuerstinformieren]

[@emrysdavies1215]

Too right! Enjoy yourselves was it i think!! Peace and love ems

[@kvl505]

Crazy awesome show.. Grateful Dead at their very best, taking you on a timeless, boundless NFA journey. Then Pigpen tearing through with a rip roaring, crushing version of Lovelight. Hard to find something better.. Thanks for posting.

[@chrisblasczyk5126]

This is by far the most energetic NFA JAM INTO ONE OF PIGPENS BEST LOVELIGHTS IVE HEARD. IF THERE IS A BETTER ONE FEEL FREE TO SHARE OR GIVE ME A DATE AND I WOULD LOVE TO COMPARE THEM. THE WHOLE BAND IS ON FIRE INCLUDING THE CROWD AND WHO CAN BLAME THEM.

[@jayluciano80]

the SUN IS our rock.Rock On!!!! She wont, repeat, wont fade away--at least for a very long time.🏹🇺🇲🏴‍☠️🦓😜🔭🏜️

[@jayluciano80]

not for a long long time

[@waltermarkham8437]

10-22-67 is a better Lovelight...pure, powerful n simple, no extra talking about playing pocketpool. If you want a Lovelight that is paired down to essentials, nothing is better

[@ExtremelyOCD]

6:10, that sick Darkness Jam!! I think they only did it 3 times?? But this one is the best I heard (I know a number of friends who would definitely agree!) Darkness Jam into China Cat jam. Wow! Doesn't hurt that back in the day, when I first heard this, there were certain "other" influences going on at the time... That's in the past, on a cleaner path now, but there were good times back then (unfortunately I had no off button). Always love the Dead. And always have the tapes, err, CDs, err digital files. Things have changed a tad :)

[@normanchristiansen1864]

wow... a first for me, quoting "darkness, darkness" !!!!

[@jayluciano80]

[@teresasparks9194]

K. Great jam, I'll take it for a birthday present. Since it was my birthday, just slightly before I was born. 6 I believe.

[@emrysdavies1215]

Yup you summed it up perfectly! Just another evening of magic at the Fillmore with the good ol' grateful dead god bless em

[@tkearney609]

Sweet jam!! Love the China Cat jam seven minutes in to NFA.

[@jkwtrading]

[@stevenjohnson243]

boar hogs eye sounds like phone line

[@darkstarharry2947]

is that "Darkness Jam" which sounds a bit like Cold Rain & Snow before going into the China Cat Jam?

[@rolandvv-360]

I wonder where I can obtain the mysterious U31DoD software. Anything to make these kind of visuals in realtime. Also kinda wondering about the B&W footage of the show.

[@emrysdavies1215]

Pigpen! Did you say F**K!!!!

[@Susana.Ventura]

Steal your kaleidoscope!

[@anthonykimball7463]

Too bad pig's mic is mixed for shit...can't hardly hear the dude. Thank fuck that the dark star from this sequence was decently recorded anyhow.
