Dupree's Diamond Blues, Mountains Of The Moon, Dark Star-> Saint Stephen-> The Eleven-> Death Don't Have No Mercy, Alligator-> Drums-> Alligator*-> Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)

* - 11:29 minutes of the Alligator Jam > Caution segment were missing from the previously seeded version of this show and have been patched into the current version from an alternate partial SBD source containing the Alligator ====> Feedback segment and bearing the same lineage + one cassette gen. The corresponding Feedback segment of the alternate SBD source is also missing approximately 2:00 minutes of Feedback that are actually present in the current version before any patching from the alternate SBD source. The current version would then appear to contain the complete Alligator ====> Feedback segment of the show for a total timing of 28:54.







The disc picks up with the last 04:59 of Dark Star. If Deadbase XI is accurate, this disc is missing Dupree's, Mountains of the Moon and the better part of Dark Star.Total disc time prior to patching in the missing 11:29 from the alternate SBD source is 57:03. Total time per Deadlists and Eaton's list is 84:00. If the Eaton version is missing the 11:29 minutes of the Alligator Jam > Caution patched from the alternate SBD source, this could logically account for the resulting 27 minute time difference.

I consider it a great privilege to be part of this community celebrating what I believe is the greatest music and music scene ever. 50 years ago today I attended my first GD show. I was 15 and attended the late show at the Fillmore East. The Dead opened for Janice Joplin and played a solid show typical of the early 69 era. I continued to see the Dead at many wonderful venues around the country.I consider it a great privilege to be part of this community celebrating what I believe is the greatest music and music scene ever. - February 12, 2019Today 50 years ago

Subject: Sound and sound are two different things Well the sound of this, the physical recording isn't anything but average. Kinda muffled, sanded. But the SOUND, that music generated by the band is A+, number one. This is laid back, but confident! It's struts easily. The Eleven is outstanding. The Dark Star is good but the St. Stephen is as good as it gets. - August 12, 2018Sound and sound are two different things

Subject: happy show anniversary this show is great. full of eletric energy, especially early on. the peak for me (as well as most others) is the 11. it is simply astounding. garcia's playing really shines. his fender twin is just roaring with tubular saturation goodness. i really dig his tone in this show and most of '69 for that matter, but its so vivdly apparent and well captured in this show. it is unmasked by all the gnarly effects that would become so much a part of his guitars voice later on. the whole mix is mind-blowingly clear to have been captured some 45 years ago. holy captain trips, deadman!! have a go at this one mates, it shall make your day shine. - February 13, 2014happy show anniversary

Subject: almost there... Nice St. Steven>The Eleven, BLAZIN' RED HOT Caution to close out the set, but imho, the shows from the last week of the month blow this away. This Alligator is solid, but listen to the Gator from 2/28 and you'll forget they even played this version. Maybe it's a little unfair to compare this show to the other-worldly fillmore shows, but still, i've heard nary a set in '69 that gets any less than a 4 (sloppiness and all). - April 24, 2010almost there...

I lost those discs, so just as curiosity I looked for it, so I'm glad they'ree still streaming!!!



As with all the other reviewers, I echo their sentiments. Stephen>11 is HOT.

Reviewer: GratefulnirvanA - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - March 31, 2006

Subject: What pace! The opening three songs (DS, St., 11) really offer everthing there is to get from a typical (which means GREAT!) '69 show. To me, the essence of this show is in the 11. This version just totally smokes. The speed of the song is very reminiscent of a Caution or Viola Lee jam in that is starts out a bit slower then just goes faster and faster until you cannot believe how fast they are playing. There are two ENORMOUS peaks in this version as well. The first is just past the 7:00 minute mark. JG is just on freaking fire. His playing is so fast you can barely comprehend what he is playing (and I'm not sure he could if you could stop and ask him). After this catharsis, there is a moment to catch your breath, but then we hit the 11:00 minute mark and, as if to prove you weren't imagining what you had heard earlier, they again stoke the fires as high as they will go. This is truly one of "the" versions of the 11 in my opinion (along with 2/27/69 and 3/15/69). The rest of the show, while still fantastic, seems a bit tired after the pace and energy unleashed during the Star-> St.- >11 sequence. This a great companion to the Fillmore East 2/11/69 discs released a few years ago. These discs prove just what the dead could do to blend speed, dexterity, emotion, and exploration into one of the most powerful "hours" of your life. This one is not to be missed!! (Some slight oversaturation on the sound in places should not cause you any concern, its still sounds fantastic.) - March 31, 2006What pace!
