Title: Stage Presence
Review: Although not a complete show (as most enthusiasts prefer), this recording stands out mostly for its historical significance. This was the first successful attempt to capture the essence of a live show and share it with most of the world who had never seen them on stage--it was the stage that made them legendary not the recording studio. Subsequently this recording helped in the later successes of "American Beauty" and "Workingman's Dead."For me this one is special because it was my first experience, way back when, with "Dark Star" a classic the withstands the test of time."Turn on Your Love Light" is the full length version that was shortened for their first greatest hits album, "Skeletons from the Closet." I'm sure this was to make it more attractive for the radio. When one hears the full version one wonders why someone would ever think of cutting it!
