- ★★★★★ · Brilliant '69 Dead in a Nutshell · Dr. Bilvis · 2005
This is a great show that shows the range of the Dead's emerging power in 1969. Just the amazing and jarring shift from the potent drive of "The Eleven" to the country-folksy twang "Green Green Grass of Home" exemplifies the two faces of the Dead, the two sides of the Steal Your Face Head-- the ying and yang of the brain split by the lightening bolt of brilliance, of lifegiving and death-taking.

- ★★★★★ · great dark star · dagmar · 2005
When I first popped the CD in, everything sounded great (there was also some history about it--Workingman's stuff, country music) except that the drums sounded off for the first few tunes- up to "sittin", actually. something just didnt click, not sure what... maybe billy and mickey had to get their "country legs", so to speak. but, when "sitting" came on, it was back to good ole double drummin! boss man is smokin as usual. Now that dark star!!
- ★★★★★ · Wow, what a knockout of new, old and strange · amellowsoul · 2004
I had this one on tape on generation 2, but this one does sound quite good, espeically for it's time, minus a free mixing details in part of Slewfoot. This show I believe is required in any Deadheads library because it shows the Grateful Dead were an everyone band. It's a wonderful ride from start to finish. Santa Rosa is a perfect place for it to be as well. ;) The country influence coming into is felt strong this date..
