- ★★★★★ · Newly resurrected songs from 1966: Resurrected Death, Sittin’. Grade A Dead · L. Rosley · 2009
True, this is not as good as some the material from January and February (check out 1/20 and 2/14/68). But, this show is as good as some of this material, and is better than the historic 3/3/68 Haight Street concert. Each of the 4 songs really is top notch. 1968 is a great year. Some think of ’68 Dead as ancient history, but this show is a throwback to an earlier era with the resurrection of Sittin’ on Top of the World: this is the first time they played it since mid-1966.

- ★★★★★ · Sittin' On Top; Dark Star · cream-puff-war · 2005
Worth downloading- loose, kick-butt 4 song set. Under-reviewed, so I'll kick in hearty 5 stars - really like the laid back deep throated vocals by Garcia. Yes, it's an Audience tape, yet sounds great for '68. No nonsense early Dark Star, 3 fingers way up.Starting to come together, yet still new and fresh.

Holy cow, this is amazing! Great show, unbelievalbel quality for 38 years old, this is a true gem and quality is much better than many later recordings. Crisp, clear Dark Star. The forces tear lose from the axis. Thank you Sunshine Daydream for the tips!
