Right from the start of Hard To Handle, the band is RIPPING. They kick back into mellow gear for the country/cowboy tunes but continue to play very well, The Other One is as good as it gets! Jerry swallowed a frog while trying to sing High Time, apparently, though. Sounds painful. A proto-Casey Jones followed by two from their early days for old time's sake, then back to RIPPING for as good a Me & My Uncle as JG has ever played; which, sadly cuts out midway.

★★★★ · July 4th 1969 · MR.SUNSHINE · 2017
Great music for an outdoors bbq, from July 4th 1969! The highlights for me are the Hard to Handle, Cryptical-High Time stretch, King Bee, Doin that Rag, StStephen-LoveLight. Summer of 1969 was a very interesting time in the Dead's history, while exploring their american/country roots, they were also now jamming songs like ChinaCat(Brought back in April), Doin that Rag, the OtherOne and DarkSTar longer than ever before and adding distinct patterns/sections/themes to these songs.
