~^|\_@|@_/|^~~/\~Classic 69' Soundboard.Amazing quality for such a "primitive" time in the recording industry.I recommend adding this show to your 1969 GRATEFUL DEAD collection. It's a "must have" show if you were there.So, Woodstock is over, we've landed on the Moon, Vietnam war protests are getting bigger and the GRATEFUL DEAD are gathering a larger and larger audience. Nixon is in the White House and the DEAD are in Crockett, CA puttin on a show for the "kids".The town of Crockett is in Contra Costa County, of California, just north of Berkeley & Oakland.In 1969 I imagine Crockett was a nice place to live, it's very different today.If you're a fan of Pigpen like I am, you're gonna want this show. It sounds like Pigpen's playin organ on several songs.The "original" GRATEFUL DEAD playin' like they could care less if they ever have a record contract.Wonderful 1969 setlist with "new" songs from Workingmans Dead.Don't expect CCS/INYR to sound like Euro 72'...kids....in 1969 things were very different.The GRATEFUL DEAD didn't want to make the record companies richer.Garcia sings harmony with Pigpen on NTYSM.A lot of our favorite GRATEFUL DEAD songs performed at this show don't have the familiar arrangements we are used to, except for Pigpen's material, his stuff had to be rehearsed...Pigpen's material is tighter than the rest of the show. "Turn On Your Lovelight"is 42:23 long.I recommend using your EQ during playback of most of the shows on the IA, this one included.Windows Media Player has a 10 band EQ and SRS WOW effects that enhance the sound.Here's one way to download this show:The IA recommends users of Windows XP view this web-page with RealPlayer.RealPlayer is a free media player you can download at www.realplayer.com .
