- ★★★★★ · The GRATEFUL DEAD "Live On Stage" May 1, 1970 at Alfred College, Alfred, NY, U.S.A. · oh_uh_um_ah · 2009
` ~^|\_@|@_/|^~ ~ / \ ~ Thirty nine years ago the GRATEFUL DEAD were in Alfred, NY wherever that is? Why were they there? Because in 1970 the GRATEFUL DEAD were not a HUGE CORPORATE MONEY MACHINE, like most you know them. They were the scariest, ugliest, freakiest, most bizzare show outside of a bonafide FREAK SHOW. Most people today only know the GRATEFUL DEAD as this HUGE money making machine that only played coliseums.

Oh, sinning is a gentilized journey Take Jesus as your daily guide Though you may feel pure and saintly Without Him walking by your side And when you come to make your crossing At the end of the pilgrim's way If you ever will meet your Savior You will surely meet Him on that day Now look at that cold Jordan Look at its deep water Look at that wide river Oh, heavy mighty billows roll You better take Jesus with you He's a true companion Oh, I'm sure without Him That you never will make it home…

The twin to Harpur but so fantastic on it own. As good as the atmospherics are in Harpur - this stands on its own greatness. Very fine versions down the entire first set - perhaps not the drop dead great versions - but very unique in arrangements and the guest contributions - which are really huge. Marmaduke all over this. I attended the Filmore set on this tour and these Alfred/Harpur shows were just awesome.
