Soundboard. 200th show!!! Wooo! Show starts with the first ever Dire Wolf. Acoustic and beautiful. Smoking show once they gear up with Dark Star into St. Stephen. If you are looking for a b**** out rocking Stephen this is the one! Jerry's fingers must hurt after the Eleven. Very upbeat early Cold Rain. Killer Doin that Rag!!! Janis sings on 20 minute Lovelight with Pigpen and it sounds like they were close to actually f****** on the stage.

J Straw from Topeka: I did go check out D***'s notes as you suggested. True, the notes describe what looks like the same songlist, they also place the venue as Carousel Ballroom.

I was at this concert about four rows back, and I remember it vividly. I was 17 at the time, and a big Dead fan. There was no advanced notice that Janis Joplin was going to perform that night, so when she stepped out from between the curtains behind the drums, that place went absolutely berserk! The few people who were still sitting on the floor were now on their feet. She stood to the left of Garcia, both enthusiastically charged for the occassion to do "Love Light" together.

yes the Lovelight with Janis is legendary, but The Dark Star thur SoToTW portion of this show just BURNS with typical '69 fire and brimstone. The DS in particular is very unique, someone else mentioned the weird energy in the beginning with the double stops; from there the jam just ebbs and flows intensely, building into a blinding crescendo just before the second verses. what an amazing version! you've gotta here it.
