Cryptical Envelopment
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Can't just have The Other One listed for 69. Cryptical Envelopment matters, people!

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Feb. 15, 1969
Electric Factory

How this one has not been submitted already is beyond me. Peak era, amazing show all around.

Turn On Your Love Light
May 30, 1969
Springer's Inn

This one goes to "cow bell". Great end to a thoroughly wonderful show.

St. Stephen

Springer's Inn

Can't get enough of SS in 69; perfectly cromulent and into a dynamite 11 (as usual)

St. Stephen

The Electric Theatre

Wonderful St. Stephen totally representative of the era; Bobby doesn't even toss out a quip.

The Music Never Stopped

War Memorial

Came to check and see how high this was; glad to see where it deserves at the top. Epic.
Dancin' in the Streets
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

Unreal; more people need to be digging back to 69, 68, 67... this should be WAY higher. Come for the Viola Lee Blues, stay for the Dancin'.
Easy Wind
Nov. 8, 1969
Fillmore West

One of those songs just not on my radar but coming backup through some primal dead research... damn! Pig at his bluesiest (vocal and harmonica) and solid jamming by the whole gang. This one is it for me, so far. Looking forward to some of the ones after this date others love.
The Other One
April 15, 1969
The Music Box

Unreal; must listen. Preferably very loud with headphones. Simply off the rails out of the gate.
Dancin' in the Streets
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

Blows Cornell and all '77s out of the water. The more I listen to pre '72 Dead the more I appreciate. Entirely different level.
