Rock music as it should be. The band is really on this night and this song just flies.

Donna and Bobby really sing it-NO screeching. Their singing throughout this June 76 run is just fine. For all you Donna haters, listen to this

Solid,well sung, nice little solo, and it is so sweet after the huge UJB>Wharf Rat>DS>Sugar Mag that comes before it. It just fits in so well.

Keith's piano-thanks ,Man. Good to know that I'm not the only one who does stuff like that! I've done this sort of thing with Deal,Alligator,Cosmic Charlie,St Stephen. comparing early with later and so on. What better way to pass the time? P.s absolutely great show. Go listen to the first ever Terrapin Station which they open with!

Where has the Archive version gone? No copies to be found. Drat!

There are some little runs of GD shows in certain years where some songs or combinations are just exactly perfect. And for me this Feb-March 2 69 run is the case in point for Dupree's diamond Blues> Mountains of the Moon. Also for the St Stephen>the Eleven as well.

I rave about this show. It's one of the very best of their whole career.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

All 4 nights of this run are superb. Amazingly, only the D.S & St.Stephen made the original Live/Dead album. Each night is worth listening to. This Dupree's> Mountains of The moon is a case in point. TC's delicate organ figures, the gentle strumming and ethereal singing of Jerry contrast beautifully with the fun fair, merry go round Dupree's Diamond Blues. What a month for this combination.
