Dead of the Day: April 5, 1969http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-05-1969 Avalon Ballroom San Francisco, California The show starts of with a perfectly rendered Dupree’s, evoking all the common-place romance and deep Americana pathos of the tune. The Dead then transition into a Mountains of the Moon – with Jerry on acoustic – that rolls right into a tremendous Dark Star. With Jerry now on electric, the band blows it out, exploring distinct galaxies as they go. Next, a China> Doin’ That Rag brings such a sweet combination: the psychedelic splendor of China Cat mixing – like with the later and far more common Rider – with the Dead’s reformulation of quintessential American music and folklore in the Rag. The boys then switch gears into a fabulous Other One suite, with an incredibly diverse, searching, and gushing Other One at its heart. The second Cryptical segues into a wondrous Eleven that spins completely out of control in all the best ways. A sharp transition delivers the band at an elemental, bluesy It’s a Sin, displaying the diversity and depth of the band. Finally, gathering themselves again, the band heads off into the swampy, bluesy jamming and eventual celebratory muck of an Alligator> Drums> Feedback. All told, it is as psychedelic as the band ever gets and amongst the top tier of that monumental, second-to-none Dead year of 1969. We can all appreciate telling an uninitiated friend about the Dead, but a commentator on Archive who was at the show experienced it at another level. He had met his fiance in the Air Force in Turkey in 1967. Shortly after, he returned stateside, experienced the Dead live, and told his future wife about how awesome the experience was for the next two years until she finally got out of the service. This was the show where she "finally had a chance to live it." He goes on to explain that It was an Avalon without the Family Dog, but the vibes were still powerful. The audience was loaded in a lot of ways. Kesey was there, the Angels were out in force, and there were fire eaters sitting on the floor. The Dead were even better than this recording. It was the last time I saw them at the Avalon, and I'll never forget it. They came close to levitating the whole block. They might just end up levitating you too as you listen to this.

April 5, 1971http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-05-1971 Manhattan Center New York, New York An absolutely drop-dead awesome show that would have been our Dead of the Day had the 1969 show not somehow been a notch better.

They sell a beautiful tee shirt for the 6/24/70 show.https://the-capitol-theatre.myshopify.com/collections/t-shirts/products…

A Capitol Theater 1970 release would be a capital box to have.

THAT version of The Roses Are Free is the shit. I also hear a "Emotional Rescue" tease in there

....the senator is on it. Careful to swing away from the concert tix pre-orders mindset, which is a joke and a half.

Why can’t we just sign up for a permanent preorder list?We’ll get an advance notice email that allows us to reserve one copy of an upcoming release for preorder, and we can place the order when we return from whatever it is we are out doing. Kind of like a new age record club. Sorry hendrixfreak, only one copy, your friend needs to join the club.
