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

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.

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.

Capitol Theater

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

Tight and upbeat, energetic soloing, but at the same time relaxed and controlled.

He's gone sounded great in 1979. Always been a favorite.

Fall 79' was damn good, This version keeps with the consistency of the month. Executed with soulful driving energy.

Promised Land
Nov. 10, 1979

Hot as can be, this song might be harder to jam on then others, but nevertheless the quick jams are energetic, and this one certainly does not disappoint.
