Subject: Phil and Friends 2/6/15 apparently Phil Lesh and friends duplicated the setlist of 2/22/69, plus great choices for the encore. Can't wait to see the 1970 celebration tonight in the Grate Room. I hope for a great acoustic run of tunes in the mix. Very excited about this! - February 7, 2015Phil and Friends 2/6/15

Subject: Another great one Not the furthest out versions of any of these tunes but really solidly played and inspired. The Eleven, in particular, really shines with Bobby and the rest of the band keeping the momentum going whenever Jerry pauses between phrases (an amazingly infrequent occurrence). - September 15, 2014Another great one

Subject: S G ? Great dark star despite a little lyrical flub. Jerry's playing and tone are awesome. is this when he played a Gibsons SG? anyway all around trippy and good. - December 25, 2013S G ?

"won't you people

get off your butt and

do something righteous

find a little girl

get next to each other

reach over your shoulder

touch somebody

Subject: -- Incredible follow-up to the night before, both on an equal par as far as performance is concerned.



I, too, am a big champion of Mountains of the Moon - that *exquisite* transition they worked on into Dark Star is such delicate psychedelia - absolutely no other band explored this space in this way - it's cold, fragile, lovely....



...and check out the St Stephen right on the heels of the vocal coda in Rag...



...AND, the mad energy of Lovelight - they got that crowd in a total delirium!



The Dream Bowl shows hold their own just fine against the Fillmore masterpieces of the next week. No complaints, just a happy deadhead here! - February 21, 2013--

Subject: top 10 To say that this is a top ten show of '69 means that it is a top ten show of all time, imho.



Talk all you want about a '70-this show or an '80-that show, but come on! This was five nights before they played the Dark Star/St. Stephen and one month after the Eleven and Lovelight on Live/Dead. Five billion stars. - February 14, 2012top 10

Subject: Mountains of the moon Oh my,

Wonderful show ,perfect set list and Charlie Millers magic with the sound! I'll never understand why Mountains of the Moon was dropped after so few preformances, an anglo-irish folk ballad on acid Garcia knew he and Humter had created a gem .I am sure in some realm of a higher reality Tom Banjo and the Marsh Queens Daughter are together.

thanks to Charlie and everyone else that enrichs our lifes with these gifts! - September 28, 2011Mountains of the moon

Subject: Can you hear me now? A lot is being said about the sound quality being improved. This version is the first I ever heard so I have nothing to compare it to. Working my way through the Dead Archive and well...to me the Dead is like wine...I know what I like and it gets better with age and this is a great harvest from a vintage year. It is simple yet bold, and has a strong finish. I give it 3.54 stars. - April 27, 2011Can you hear me now?

Subject: Thank you. Had this recording for years. So happy for the upgrade.



Jam between Mountains into Dark Star is haunting and given new resonance with this transfer.



Primal Dead, obviously. Definitely one of the top 10 of 1969. Just as good imho as the famed Fillmore West run a week later.



100 points! - April 3, 2011Thank you.

Subject: woohoo! much, much thanks to Charlie Miller for this amazing upgrade! the sound on this show is infinitely improved, there is virtually no hiss, wonderfully clear instrument separation, and even Phil's annoying bass distortion during Dark Star has been removed. if this isn't one of the best of '69 already, it sure is now... - April 3, 2011woohoo!
