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

Black Peter
April 12, 1970
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
March 20, 1970
Capitol Theater

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

Morning Dew

Salt Palace

This is what all Morning Dews should sound like. Spectacular final crescendo. One of the better Dews of 73'
Cumberland Blues
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a real smoker, and vocals are top-notch. The whole early show is worth checking out.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

They hit this out of the park. Each instrument clicks, and there is clear communication between instruments. Rocking and powerful version. Definitive.
Wharf Rat
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is really good. Epic O1<Wharf Rat
New Minglewood Blues
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

These guys were on fire this whole show. But during this song they kick it into a new gear and pour it on like this was the last time they were ever going to play the song.
