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.

Capitol Theater

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

A mellow cat, hard charging into a blissful transition through a groovy MLB back again into the slinky bounding of an approaching rider flying down through the blistering heat of a colorado freight train-- a deep groove cooks this Rider, until you know it well, and when it concludes the pair has already punched you head first into oblivion.
Turn On Your Love Light

Fillmore East

Edit to my previous comment, Carrion_Crow has found my mistake. In-fact I was made confused by the lack of listing on setlist.net, as it turns out from multiple places, including the Archive, it seems that the Early show that took place on 2/14 included a Lovelight. The setlist.net I presume does not account for the early show. My apologies, guys.
The Other One
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

Phil and Jerry trade notes and space is entered with tripodial aliens bounding with massive steps. Garcia drags this fatal space into a tiger where the forest shakes. The dimensions coalesce into a slipknot before the space expands again into the verse. Gets deep.
