Worth it for the stoned giggles after the cannon shot alone. Part of a great '69 show filled with rare gems.

2nd ever, with a long cool intro that sounds a bit like Row Jimmy. This one's a beaut from a show full of great rarities (Slewfoot opener!).

Slow, clear version from a beautiful show placed right between the primal psychedelia and the emerging country Dead. Check it out.

Turn On Your Love Light

Capitol Theater

Buried under some sound quality issues is a 25 minute epic with massive jams and a dollar and quarter Pig rap for the ages.

This will chop you into tiny pieces and put you back together again. Ballsy dark Dead from a cool show.

Jerry plays like a man possessed.

Needs a cleanup, but certainly beyond fathom. Serious brain melter, with experimental sections before the wild crescendo/accelerando leading to the last verse. Only one other version after this, as I guess they were leaving the psychedelic repertoire behind for other bigtime jam vehicles. Hot stuff, and the audience having their collective minds blown apart adds to the high energy. This whole show rocks, but definitely needs a cleanup!

A precious gem, in a beautiful set full of rare beauties.

Wow. That's amazing.
Sugar Magnolia

Winnipeg Fairgrounds

Not quite a Sugar Mag, and not quite a "Pick a Bail of Cotton" on which, it should now be totally evident, the former is based. Who knew? Fun and historically important. Worth a once-over, at least.
