From what has been circulating previously, it's apparent that the full-length Schoolgirl is not dated correctly. The Other One is the last before the lyrics changed. Road Trips vol 2 #2 added the Dark Star from this date. So Many Roads has the above average Clementine, which is the highlight. Otherwise, what we have - and can verify* - is below-average to above-average '68.

2½ stars

Subject: WOW THIS Viola Lee Blues is one of those tracks that you can listen to and clearly understand why people think in such reverent, legendary terms when referring to Jerry. Play for someone who "doesn't get it" with the Dead - a good litmus test.



Shame about the Schoolgirl being cut - hopefully we'll see more of this show someday. - February 4, 2013WOW

Subject: Clementine Chopped olive sandwiches, roses and wine

Cold ripe persimmons, my sweet Clementine

There's a chill in the meadow, of bottomless time

I go on, I go on, I cannot fill my cup

There's a hole in the bottom, the spring has dried up

I run through the forests of linear time

Chop through the branches and cut through the vines

I'll be back in a moment, though it may take me years

In the lava rock canyons corroded with fears

Of corruptible bodies and grief beyond tears

I'll go on till I hear the sweet voices behind

That I've left for the comfort of cold Clementine - February 2, 2013Clementine

Subject: This Could Be Our Next "Official" 1968 Release It is that clear, crisp and invigorating. This is simply a stunning tape that needs to find a space on your rack next to the Carousel and Tahoe shows. Wonderful recording, mix and performance! - November 15, 2011This Could Be Our Next "Official" 1968 Release

Subject: Great Performance Just playing 'this day in Dead history' and came across this old gem from '68.Compact, spitfire of an Other One Suite (would have like to hear more jamming on the OO section but I guess they would expand the song more in later renditions). Clementine is fantastic and makes me wish they would have given this song more attention. One review stated that it reminds him of Allman Bro's but to my ear, it sounds more like the Dead contemporaries/SF compadres, Quicksilver Messenger Service (listen to Gold & Silver on their self-titled debut). A shame that the Schoolgirl was cut off.



Once again, thanks to Charlie Miller for making this available. - February 2, 2011Great Performance

Subject: The Clementine of All Clemetines... ...is found here, a performance that is about as jazzy as this band can get in 1968. of course the Viola is a monster too! As Cliff says this WHOLE show is a jazzy masterpiece, and the next night is about as good imho. - October 24, 2010The Clementine of All Clemetines...

5 Stars for the mix

5 Stars for the recording

5 Stars for the performance

5 Stars for the "most excellent" Charlie Miller Transfer.



I highly recommend adding this show to your 1968 GRATEFUL DEAD Collection. If you haven't done so already, click on Charlie Miller's name and collect all his GRATEFUL DEAD shows, he has impeccable taste.



"Clementine" is a very special treat. It's sung by Garcia, and reminds me of some Allman Brother's 6/8 Grooves they'd jam out on.



Good Morning Little School Girl cuts off at 2:13.



Remember to also click on the "Deadlists Project" and collect the posters and ticket stubs that sometimes appear for each show.



Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.



Thanks for the Love. - February 10, 2009The GRATEFUL DEAD "Live on Stage" February 2, 1968 at the Crystal Ballroom, Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.
