One Good Morning Little Schoolgirl ; Turn On Your Lovelight
Comments Other acts were Country Joe and the Fish and the Fresno based group Valley Fever. George Hiatt: "I was one of the promoters of the Feb, 68 Show at Selland Arena, Fresno, Ca. I have some original handbills, approx. 8" by 10" if Deadheads out there are interested. The Dead played with Country Joe and the Fish. They opened the show and played "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and then an extremely long version of "Turn on Your Lovelight" that was the show!!! For someone who was waiting to hear all of those tracks, I was a little disappointed, but I got over it."
From the Fresno Bee:
