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
May 30, 1969
Springer's Inn

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

St. Stephen
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre

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

Comments

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Opinions over whether a '90 Scarlet>Fire should be in the same conversation with all of the '77s aside; don't you feel like all those '77s sound a little bit the same? I love how different this one is. And it flat out rocks. Gets my upvote today.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

This version is about 30 seconds of Donna's wailing away from being absolutely perfect. (And I don't even mind the "ooh aah"ing... but the screeching...)
Not Fade Away
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Truly an NFA unlike any other. Beauty.
Stella Blue
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Come for the O1, stay for NFA. This Stella is epic.
Not Fade Away
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

There is now a great Matrix for this show; the entire second set is off the hook.
