They were billed as Mickey and the Hartbeats. Not only one of the first shows without pigpen, and bobby, but exists historically as a catalyst for developement of the more jazz-based sound that we experience in the early 1970's. I make this statement largely because of the steps that they began to take with improvisation, namely this show's dark star.

I've really listen'ed and studied the shows between 10/10 and 12/16/68 and know this is some of the best Jerry out there. Of the 8 shows I've heard so far between 10/8 and 10/30; 10/10 and 10/30 are the best out there so far. Five stars for both shows. If you listen to the last half of the 10/8 shows you can tell the difference between Jack Cassidy and Phil Lesh for anyone concerned. Phil's got the offbeat bass which is his signature, where Cassidy is just a little more solid.
★★★★★ · Very cool free jammin' · jbphburg · 2005
Opens with a great, appropriately designated 'jam', some nice open free exploration going on, Jerry and Phil really goin' at it, this has got to be one the few most unique offerings here, nice with a fat bowl of bud, why are Dead Heads not running the government? Ok, ramblin now, better just chill and enjoy.....and download this baby!!!!! Just listening more, the opening piece is excellent, I'd expected the sound to be sparse w/o Bob and Pig but it works really well. This is special.
