Fillmore Auditorium

One of the first, and its strong and tight and powerful. Is there a bad show from Dec. '69?

Turn On Your Love Light

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

Goes way off the rails with Bobby, Pig, audience members and Phil all acting quite mad. Reminds me of some of the Acid Test recordings. A rarity.

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

Expanding over 14 minutes, this one covers different themes and vibes with great streches for soloing. Low-fi AUD.

Some AUD probs but a glowing, surging perfect slice of '69 Dead. Begins acoustically. A rare treat from under the radar.

Mountains of the Moon

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

Buried in bad AUD murk and hiss, this was the last one ever performed. It's longer, slower and beautiful. A gem for completist collectors only.

Kicks ass. I'm not so familiar with '82, but this one convinces me to explore a bit deeper. Lovely.

Nothing in this incomplete 2nd Set should be missed. Nov. '73 is a great place to start anyone on the Dead and it's a pity this show's not complete. This this Dew is an immaculate beautyand it's part of an insane Dew>PITB>UJB>PITB megajam.

Kiel Auditorium

Starts really pretty, then gets even smoother as it lifts into the outer atmosphere. Before you know it you're hitting light speed before one of the most beautiful MLB jams of all time - it really feels like the sound of an out-of-body experience. Just so good, just exactly perfect.

CBS Studios in West Hollywood

Correction? Date on Setlist Program is 10 July '69. Didn't realize this was a double post until too late.
