Good quality. Looks like it is Two from the Vault. Went back and listened to cd. Such sweetness!

- ★★★★★ · Two shows: second is outstanding · L. Rosley · 2009
The beginning of this recording is from a “show” called “5/0/68” here at Archive. It is definitely not from 8/23, with a very early St. Stephen.—definitely not from August. (This “show” is possibly a studio run-through for Anthem of the Sun.) It’s good stuff, but not as exciting as the second show, the actual 8/23 material. A lot Caution in this first show is missing, unfortunately.
- ★★★★★ · One of '68s Best · clementinescaboose · 2011
This whole run of 8/21-24 is just mind-blowing stuff. It's been said before but Fall '68 (starting here) thru April '69 has got to be one of the most consistently excellent and exciting periods of the band's history. The Other One/Cryptical is fully formed by these shows and I think this could be my favorite of the four. Just sheer b**** during TOO, Cryptical is gorgeously jammed out, rising to a wonderful peak and then quietly gliding to a halt.
- ★★★★★ · Sleepy Alligator · ballin-that-jack · 2011
It was circa 1994 when my boy Pete's Dank rolled into town like a runaway freight train with this dirty nugg he had brought with him from Madtown. We were all searching for the sound in those days and the score was a crispy lo-gen SBD. When Pete unearthed this gem we could not believe our ears or our minds. Break out the Maxell XLII-S. The bus came by and our next stop was late summer '68 on the West Coast for an ivy league education in the Psychedelic Blues from Professor Pigpen.
