Subject: There are songs that are out of time in this Show's Collection When checking on my chronology database and looking for the 1st "It Must Have Been The Roses, I was surprised to see that 1969 showed up as the 1st time played. And I agree with earlier posters that Donna singing Sunrise in 1969 is impossible. The more definitive source what this Show entails is here:

1. Hard To Handle

2. Me And My Uncle

Subject: this is the one The Dead seemed to have liked this venue as this show and the show at the Rose Palace earlier in the spring (Mar 22) are both a bit wild and wooly.



There's some nice write-ups about this show on the Internets. Evidently the Dead opened for a *movie* at this gig, specifically "Farewell Cream" (easily one of the worst classic rock concert documentaries ever produced). Also on the bill were the Kaleidoscope, one of the very best California psych bands (unfortunately their live sets are poorly documented).



As for the music, it's all about the final four tracks. The Dark Star and the Lovelight, in particular, are noteworthy for plenty of inspired playing by Garcia whose amp is turned up loud.



There is a tasteful edit near the beginning of Lovelight (the opening verses are missing so it seques right into the first instrumental section). Lots of fun jams in there.



Also, no offense to those involved, but don't bother with the "remaster" (shnid 132812). This version sounds way better (and it's just fine). - September 24, 2015this is the one

Subject: Pigpen @Outkast..... the 72 Europe tour had Keith and Donna AND pigpen as his health slow left him, he sung less and less, but this is a 69 show with filler. So yes Pigpen did play with Keith and Donna. The 4 disc Stepping out' cd highlights England and Amsterdam shows of the 72 Europe tour and all the 4 discs are smoking hot! 4 stars for rarity and recording - May 10, 2013Pigpen

Subject: Hard to Handle on is from this show Other reviewers have said that some of the earlier songs on this recording are from 12-12-69. It's nice to hear a proto-Uncle John's; it had a more open, looser feel before it became fully polished.



The early part of the listed set is plagued by equipment problems. Most severely, the power cuts out to the amps just as Jerry's getting heated up in Morning Dew. However, Dark Star to the end simply smokes. The Eleven is one of the longest and best versions, though they were pretty much hitting that one out of the park consistently in '69. The Lovelight is well worth all 25 minutes. Sound quality is good to excellent throughout. 5 Stars for this part of the show. - December 27, 2012Hard to Handle on is from this show

Subject: Filler UJB>Friend of mine must be 12/12/69 and is sublime and worth a listen. The Roses > Sunrise either 11/4/77 or 12/29/77 and not bad either.



The show itself has a hard time getting rolling with the 2 power outages, but still has many worthwhile moments.



Listened to the last 4 songs. They're rolling!

Subject: what a great jam band the dark star is powerful and the jamming on the eleven hot...i just wish i had more time and could stay for more...so many shows and so little time in the day - May 10, 2010what a great jam band

Reviewer: Matthew Watkins - favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 4, 2008

Subject: DP10 filler The Roses and Sunrise are probably the outtakes from Dicks Picks 10. The other filler seems to be studio outtakes, rehearsals, etc.



Lovely Dark Star, this one (even with the nasty sound deterioration in the latter part of it). And a very amusing intro :) - August 4, 2008DP10 filler

Reviewer: Ox Fall Down - favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 19, 2006

Subject: The show starts with track 7. The 1st 6 songs are filler. They played Hey, Little One three times, all in '66.



From HtH through Lovelight Deadbase, Deadlists and LiveArchive are in agreement.



Good sound. - October 19, 2006The show starts with track 7.

Subject: This seems like random material... Donna sings sunrise, Pig sings hard to handle? Roses was played first in 1974? This is just random stuff collected together, absolutely not a '69 show, though elements of it are from the early years - Hey Little One where Jerry's voice is vibratto circa 1967/8, HTH etc... - August 17, 2006This seems like random material...

Subject: THats No Stray Clearly not a stray show - I'm not hearing any donna at all. Also Donna joined the band in late 72 - Pigpen was dead in early 73. And I don't recall any shows that they played in together, at least now with this lineup. Therefore I declare NOT A STRAY :P - July 13, 2006THats No Stray
