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.

Caution
Feb. 4, 1969
The Music Box

The opening minutes in particular are utterly mesmerizing. End to an amazing show start to finish. And really it is Pigpen the showcase with 3 songs inc. first and last (and none of them Lovelight; weird, right?). Psychedelia at it's finest.
Morning Dew
Feb. 4, 1969
The Music Box

So not only is this an amazingly powerful Dew, but you must experience it complete with the opener, Schoolgirl, AND the banter in between and again after Morning Dew. Jer and Phil are making with the merry in particular; just hilarious stuff.

The Ark

Ten comments and only three up votes? Ratioed, headyversion-style.
He Was A Friend of Mine
April 23, 1969
The Ark

What makes it even funnier, Donnie, is the announce has just exclaimed they were the best f'ing rock and roll band in the world (!) and they then proceed to open like this. (It's a fantastic rendition and a fantastic show.)
Mountains of the Moon
April 22, 1969
The Ark

The beginning of perhaps the greatest ever 2nd set start to finish. In all of April of 1969 for sure.
