It's a bit uneven vocally, musically it's slow and sultry.

A ripping opener, Pigpen is all in, wonderful show, good quality tape but some unfortunate cuts.

So, not only is this a wonderful Dew, the Jerry banter after this and before beginning a transcendent Cryptical Suite is a hoot as well.

Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the whole O1 prelude out of the drum break till Bobby starts singing the first verse is three minutes of pure magic.
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

You may know it as The Other One; ranks relatively high there, but Cryptical is where it's at. Twas the 3rd song of an already raucous 1st set. Do yourself a favor and cue this justly classic 1969 show up from the start (School Girl bantz Rag bantz Cryptical, etc.) and stay for the banter and enjoy the next hour or so.
Cosmic Charlie
April 5, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

So after an immaculate first set they come out and do Hard To Handle and Cosmic Charlie and both are pretty rough; whole band seems out of sync. But stick with it, an amazing China Cat kicks off another hour of kick-ass 1969 Dead.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
April 5, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Here begins an hour of uninterrupted bliss. It starts with Dupree's acoustic, which is followed by Mountains which becomes electric right before Dark Star into St. Stephen and then just the Tell tease to a Love Light climax. >kiss<
