- ★★★★★ · this brings out the infinite ways of an ethereal truth · smokingcratersofthemind · 2011
Impossible to fathom the infinities this show procures.... 1969 is well on the way. Not the Grateful Dead, but the pieces of it, that assemble into the magic of 69 quite quickly with a strength they amass from these shows- all psychedelic muscles moving together in fluid movements of a living sound. Phil has quite strong playing, Jerry progressing in some dizzying way not easily definable but most clearly evident from the way he maneuevers the ever-formed shape (leader or not!).

- ★★★★★ · absolutely amazing show, Garcia is ON...but this is not the Dead · Bus70 · 2009
this is Mickey and the Hartbeats, which, on this night, consisted of Jerry Garcia, Jack Casady, and Mickey, with Spencer Dryden in the first set and David Getz in the second. no Phil, Billy, or Pigpen. what a hot show though!!!! superfine. also: Happy Birthday, Jerry. your soul rocks on forever.
- ★★★★ · Anyone have the first jam with Creator? · macfawlty · 2005
Am I to read that the jam with Creator is not part of this? I listened to both carefully and don't hear a hint of Creator... Both of these jams are great, preferring the second, but liking the first jam blues for sure. I know Creator has a Master Plan well, and have seen Pharoah a couple times. He was certainly based on the West Coast after high school. I'd like to hear this version of Creator.
