Out of cold Dark Star space. Prankster jukes regardless this one serves itself well.

Black Peter

Fillmore West

Mellow and cool. This one follows one of those Dancin's that'll knock your teeth out. This peter cools off the flames. Ghostly coolness.

Turn On Your Love Light
March 24, 1970
Pirates World

This has it all. Pig on top, tight frantic lines, tension, build, and crowd back and forth. Serious sequence here starting with the High Time.

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 20, 1974
Winterland Arena

To think for a moment, this upon its completion, this Eyes, was to be the last ever. Think of the emotion, energy, power. One can only imagine.

Viola Lee Blues

Capitol Theater

Packs a hell of a punch. A later version, 70' but solos as it should.

Me and My Uncle

Fillmore East

This is my hands-down favorite M&MU. Garcia's hook into his solo pierces ice. Just love the fills provided by all. Perfect rendition of one of my favorite Dead cowboy songs.

Outstanding....Period
Bertha
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

There is no Bertha played on this date. I think your confusing this with the 2/5/78 version on DP 18, which has already been posted.
Jack Straw

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Charged, and absolutely ripping final jam. They push the limit of whats possible shredding wise in this song, and possibly escape the stratosphere of what they thought was possible in the first place. This is what 78' gives you, super high energy, super high intensity jamming.

One of my favorites
