This show is just one of those that never gets old on you, no matter how many times you listen to it. The 15-minute Dark Star is possibly the finest circulating pre-Live Dead version, and though it lacks the adventurism of later versions, it nevertheless establishes a trippy musical landscape that always characterizes the best of Dead jams, segueing into an early St. Stephen.

Is this really 10-12-68, or 10-13? The only version of DeadBase I have is 5. In the introduction, the editors make a point of saying that many tapes labeled with various dates from 68-69 are actually 10-13-68. The music and talking identifies this show as the same one I have on an old, hissy tape (although I suspect the Caboose may be from a different show). Since 10-13-68 must have been a widely circulating tape, I suspected this show is 10-13. Can anyone answer this?

Wow. I just happened upon this show yesterday and spent my entire evening replaying it over and over. It is the most solid dead show from start finish that i've yet downloaded. I think the sound quality is warm and beautifully fuzzy. The Dark Star is more than decent! It is a great Dark Star...and the earlier St. Stephen is especially tonic - just one clearly more beautiufl note after the other into the Eleven. One of my favorite Eleven's yet.
