The Electric Theatre

Huge oversight here? This is a Cryptical to measure other Crypticals by.

Awesome Good Lovin' from a historically significant show; day after Altamont.

Beautiful harmonica jamming with Jer. Perhaps extra 'bluesy' because it's the day after Altamont?

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

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.

Ten comments and only three up votes? Ratioed, headyversion-style.

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.)

The Ark

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