These Philadelphia shows from 69 represent a band that is just boiling with creative potential- in hindsight we see that they are entering their most creative period and will define their sound and ethos for generations to come- but here we hear a young band whose not afraid to make mistakes, the accumulation of the psychedelic mindset that would define them. The first set is very standard for the period, with better versions of most of the songs ( I think) being performed the previous night.

The Other One just has a brooding intensity that you will like! I just wish the later years' versions had that kind of energy! This is just Jerry ripping it up for an entire show. If you started listening to the band during the 80's you never heard it like this. I'm glad The Dead now are dusting off these old classic songs that haven't seen the light of day for 30 years like Cryptical Envelopment, New Potato Caboose and Mountains of the Moon that I never heard the Grateful Dead play in concert…
- ★★★★★ · jer's show · gmarks · 2010
Wow! just listened to the whole thing and had to see what everyone else wrote - not reviewed since 06? Wow - Jer is so strong on this, confident, upfront, healthy! And to make this such a strong show are the contributions from pig and the rest. Listen to the whole thing and i'm sure you'll be very pleased. peace.
