| Amazimg 60s recording. To the guy who doesn't like little
school girl. WTF!!! I don't
Even know what to say and obviously the china cat isn't
studio!! Do you even know what this site is?? Or anything
about the dead for that matter! Geezzz |
| Jerry rips! Any thing that Jerry
plays kicks a**. Even though some
times he hits a strange tangent, if
you listen for ten minutes he blows
your mind at least three times when
he finds a rad groove. And this he
does every time. F%om the 60's to the
90's he played the coolest R&R, and
the rest of the boys were always as
tight. The GD rules!!!!! Thanks,
Bilbo!!!! This site is the Greatest! |
| Diggin that organ on the eleven |
| This is the 1st show I ever listened to. The Chinacat on here made me afan. Before that day I thought of GD as bullshit hippy music. A friend gave me a copy of 02-14-68 Carousel Ballroom and I gave it a chance. Now it's my favorite band. True Story. |
| The "Morning Dew," on this set is excellent. Typical clear Jerry guitar on that track. The "Dark Star" gets a little atonal, at times, but is decent. I'm not a fan of the likes of the "Little School Girl" and other fun stuff that many other Dead fans enjoy. It gets a little ragged, herein, on those-type cuts. I'm no afficianado - I think I'm hearing China Cat Sunflower. It's pretty good, certainly live and not a studio-quality recording, but, I really liked it, too. |
| I was child, when this was stuff was recorded, but, later in the 1968, I was literally at the corner of Haight and Ashbury (my father was among the curious - he was out there for seminary up in San Anselmo). I knew there was something going on that I wanted to be part, but couldn't. This set sounds just like what I heard, years later (1978), for the first time, in Knoxville, Tennessee, just after the first time I dropped acid. Too bad Jerry pretty much offed himself. There's a lot of hope and happiness, in the music of the day. |
| The set list is incorrect. The first song is "Morning Dew." The set then proceeds as listed. |
| Great stuff, I love '68. |
| Having only seen shows from '82 on, I can only imagine what it was like to have been there then... but this recording makes it a little easier to do that!
Excellent quality. Thanks!!-erik65
p.s. for those searching info. on Neal Cassady, an enigmatic historical figure if there ever was one, wikipedia.com has an extensive entry.

| they are really doing a particular rite here for Cassidy. This is superb really pushing the envelope as they say. |
