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.

Eyes Of The World

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.

This is on fire... Trippy and dark show, really good stuff.
Playin' In The Band

Music Hall

This might just be the best ever... Really, this is sick. 1972 is just jam packed with heady versions and this is easily deserving a top ten or maybe top five consideration.
