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

Feb. 15, 1969
Electric Factory

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

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.

Around and Around

Freedom Hall

Seriously, find me a better Around and Around than this. Filthy 1st set closer.
Viola Lee Blues
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

I've been making a tour of shows from 67 - 71 and concentrating on The Other Ones and Viola Lee Blues and this to me is far and away the best. And obviously just a fantastic show all around.
The Other One
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

Has to be experienced to be believed; with the DS preceding and the LL following; Simply does not get better than this. End of.
Loser
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

After all the hype about Cornell 77, deserved or otherwise, this Loser and the Morning Dew simply have to be admired as truly great.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Seems like 5-8-77 gets maligned by those who have really explored the range of recordings out there from the 60's to the 90's and back. For me, this recording literally was my introduction to The Dead while at college circa 1986. We had Europe '72 and we had a tape labeled "Cornell". And yeah, I soon expanded my horizons but you never forget your first, you know? Even if you decry people heralding versions from this show as being 'the best' you have to admit the entire show from start to finish is completely bananas crazy good. So, yeah. Duh.
