Good Morning Little School Girl, Doin' That Rag, Dark Star-> Saint Stephen-> The Eleven-> Turn On Your Love Light, E: Morning Dew

Editing and CD mastering by The Wizard - Owenbrothersvault@hotmail.com



Most info on this shows a cassette generation or two but this one does not appear to have one...there are no cassette flips at the usual spots! May have another reel generation though. Music was very slow (offspeed recorder somewhere in the history). I increased the speed by 4% and this sounded pretty good. Didn't want to go too far. Used a light continuous noise filter to remove a bit of the tape hiss. Cleaned up a few assorted pops and gliches... There was distortion in Good Morning Little Schoolgirl that could not be improved. All editing done with Diamond Cut Millennium software.

Subject: The Eleven - Revisited After much repeated listening I've decided it trumps the night after - this Eleven is absolutely spellbinding from start to finish. There have been none like it before or since, and I will not argue with those who consider it to be the greatest of all time. The transition into Lovelight is flawless.



The rest of this show is fantastic also. GREAT Dark Star, and a stunning Morning Dew encore.



Be sure to get the Miller version though, it's a significant upgrade! - July 21, 2011The Eleven - Revisited

Subject: The searing truth! In all moments is the searing truth of life, holistic, all as one together in the explosive noises rampantly dancing through an infinite canvas upon our ears that paints the scene of what all is- all combined as one, holistic, the SEARING TRUTH OF LIFE!... and the Dead come forth with their instruments to dance beyond the stage, bringing with them the intrinsic inner-workings of an eternal dance- the music, through them! 1969 is quite a rush, blurring by with an accuracy unforseen by the Dead throughout the rest of their career... What an epitomizing moment this concert encompasses - June 29, 2011The searing truth!

"Not the least bit concerned with commercial success, the GRATEFUL DEAD play their hearts out with their classic renditions of our most popular songs from 1969."



The exact opposite is true. The fact is that Warner Brothers recorded this entire tour in an attempt to capture material for Live/Dead, so the band could recoup some of the massive debt incurred when recording Anthem. The effort they put into this tour is aimed at getting good performances for the live album. - March 27, 2011i sound like a know it all

Subject: Get a grip Hey, teabag, lighten up. We don't need to know how many shows you saw. I lost count during the same period you saw them. "Sick" is just another way of saying "Insane jamming." After all, the line between genius and insanity is a rather thin one :-)



That said, these are slick, hot, sweet, and yes, sick jams at this bowling alley. The 2nd night is a little better quality. Performance: A. Quality: B. Thanks to those back then (Bear, Matthews, et al.) who taped these gems. - June 22, 2010Get a grip

Subject: Time to get ILL That is a reference to the Beastie Boys circa 1987.



I was born in 1971 and was not lucky enough to go to a show until 1992, so I missed the best times.



Nonetheless, I can appreciate awesomeness when I hear it. The Dead's sound in 1969 was sublime. They were raw, full of vigor and the exploratory energy of youth. Though it can be argued that technique improves with age, nothing compares to the passion of youth.



So let's all bring back the good times people. It is not too late to go back to the past and learn what we have forgotten or were never taught.



Better learn to duck, cause we are gonna need it to survive in this Orwellian future. There are not enough of us to fight amongst ourselves!



Peace. - February 11, 2010Time to get ILL

Subject: Teabag69 Let me bring you up to speed TeaBag (snicker, snicker).



Saying a show is "sick" means that it is so good it makes you ill! I am sorry you have never heard of this before. You were very lucky to have seen the Dead, but you were just another 2nd generation hippy that didn't see Pigpen or Keith, so that dosen't mean much to me. I love shows from the '82-'86 era, but you weren't seeing the "sick" shows of the 60's and 70's so I wouldn't act like you are some true Deadhead.



Since we're learning things here...did you know "Teabaging" is a slang term that means you like to put your balls in other mens mouths while they sleep? HAHAHA THAT'S YOUR NAME! TEABAGGER! HAHAHA!



Sure, I was born in '85 and I've only seen the Dead and Ratdog, but I have over 600 shows on CD and I probably know more about the history of the Dead than you do. Can you even tell me what amps or effects pedals Garcia used? Don't be a douche Teabagger. It dosen't even really matter how much you know, just how much you love the Dead. You need to chill out Teabagger! Like when I think of "true" Deadhead I think of a guy dressed in a Hessian Revolutionary War uniform dancing in Golden Gate Park in 1967. Or maybe someone who attended Watkins Glen, Winterland shows from '69, or the Euro Tour of '72. Not you Teabagger. Keep your balls out of people's mouths! - October 2, 2009Teabag69

Subject: "True Deadheads"???? Mr. ballbag69,or whatever the fuck your name is,you really need to give up your "hartful" shit! :) Excuse me,but was that a typo or is that some kind of extra special "true" deadhead slang? What is a "TRUE DEADHEAD"? Please enlighten me!?!?!A "true" head would never speak of a young person the way that you did! Did the heads whom had been on tour since the 60's give you shit in the 80's? If they did it's not because of your dialect.It's because your an arrogant ass! If your "scene" is full of people like you,then take it to the nursing home with you,and just remember when your getting your diaper changed by some big gay orderly..."THAT PATH IS FOR YOUR STEPS ALONE" :) :) :) - August 27, 2009"True Deadheads"????

Reviewer: Phatty - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 1, 2008

Subject: SICK SHOW! This show SICK SICK SICK! The Dark Star is very "tasty" The St Stephen is "totally radical" The Eleven is "on the money" "fer shure, fer shure" Jerry is totally "ragin'"



and on and on. People of all types use descriptive adjectives to imply different things. Like the word "BADASS" back in the 80's when you were on tour BADASS was one of those words. As in BADASS show--the show had no real badasses (besides the Hells Angels) but badass describes something that was extraordinary. Remember ever hearing the words "Cats Pajamas" or "Bee's Knees"? I would not say that anymore yet it was in total fashion when our parents were kicking around. There are plenty of words that we will not understand that our kids and their friends will kick at us that will go over our heads.



SICK is a completely on the money adjective in my opinion to describe this set. SICK!!!



Dude, don't bag on people because you don't understand them or call them gay. NOT COOL. You should know that by now. You should have learned that somewhere on the road (to unlimited devotion) back during those 118 shows.



PEACE and LIGHT!

Subject: Please Clarify What's the deal with these kids saying"sick" all the time? "Sick show", "sick quality"....what on earth are you talking about !? Does that mean you like it or harted it? Us deadheads - who actually saw the band - don;t use gay words like that. I never once heard anyone use the word "sick" in all of my 118 shows and several complete tours I did beteween '82-'86.



Please help out us true deadheads kids, save the slang for the Pearl Jam forum, this is the Grateful Dead. There is a big difference. Very big.



I have had most of '69 on tape for years and I recommend both Vallejo shows highly. As othjers have said this is one of the very hot Eleven's of all-time. - June 6, 2008Please Clarify
