Black Peter

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
July 12, 1969
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.

Dark Star

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

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.

Savage cut in it tho. Mike Lai's soundboard has the last minute, but the AUD just fades out (tape change?)

I come back to this one again and again and just go nuts for it every time.

The immortal Pig Rap. "I gotta bouta dolla and a quarter... You can't buy much for a dolla and a quarter...." And so much more. I agree with Phil (!): This is some of the best Pig out there.
Eyes Of The World

William and Mary College Hall

Very hot, very tight, and freakishly good. Perfect transition into a nice Stella, too.

To fully grok this one, you have got to listen to the Dark Star before it. Phil is totally explosive here, and it comes out of one his most massive solos of the year right before it. Jerry then takes his lead and tears it up in the most completely beautiful way.
