This is the good stuff folks! Set aside 73/74’s milk and 77’s honey for a minute and take a swig of this 69 whisky. Now pour yourself a glass and sit awhile. Listen to the whole thing or cherry pick - you can’t go wrong. This entire recording finds the band enthusiastically searching for the sound and mostly finding it in Chicago’s Electric Theater. If someone knows a China Cat that rocks harder PLEASE share. St Stephen H2H High Time all TOP SHELF. And Dark Star is just exquisite.

- ★★★★ · Summer of 69... · oh_uh_um_ah · 2008
Good to high quality stereo audio and good to excellent mix. There are better live recordings, and there are worse. For 1969, this one is fine. Tape hiss apparent when musical dynamics are low. Yeah? So? Welcome to 1969, the year NASA said "we're going to the Moon, tape hiss and all". The "SHOW" is happening. The GRATEFUL DEAD perform their music effortlessly.

Sounds as if this theater is almost empty.I love the sound. It sounds as is they are jamming to a big empty hall,I would think is not the case.Yet sounds great with the hollow sound. Listen to this lovelight is raw and tight if that makes sense at all. yes is somewhat muddy at times but we still get to listen our musical heros this many years later play.
