Grateful Dead top shows

4/5/69

Someone else mentioned previously how they thought this show was great. I was surprised, especially after checking the Deadhead's Taping Compendium, which called it the worst show on 1969. I'm pretty open minded though, so I downloaded mp3s of it and had it in my iPod for a little bit, but I have to say this is not a great show.

While there are brief glimpes of brilliance (a very nice dark star), the first set is like a harbinger of things to come in the 1980s, length-wise.

The second set starts off brutally as well, as they completely muck up Hard To Handle and Cosmic Charlie. The rest of the set was better -- I can't comment if it was the worst show of 1969 because I haven't heard them all, but honestly it sure pales next to that FIllmore run from 2/27 to 3/2 that the Dead are officially releasing in a few months.

Well,I certianly wouldn't call it the best of '69 either,hence why I didn't,but I like it alot for numerous reasons so I recommended it, but to each their own I guess, obviously.

[edit to add]

the Deadhead's Taping Compendium

Truthfully,in my opinion,if I went by that rag,I wouldn't ever hear some of the gold thats out there.Personally I take stock in my own listening over anyone elses.

Holy shit. That show must have been torture for the audience. I wonder if anyone got their money back?
