Notes
The master tape is incomplete, as the tapers' batteries were low. David Gans played the timed portion on KPFA, minus the That's It For The Other One suite which was recorded, but rendered unlistenable by the battery problem. DeadBase XI reports that the taper remembers that the closer was Dancing In The Streets. It is possible that additional songs were played between the second Cryptical and Dancin'.

Subject: Gate folded
This is the show we thought we were hearing when we sat in front of the stereo with Live/Dead
and stared at the inner gatefold's Jim Marshall photo of this flatbed-trailer-on-a-crowded-Haight-Street stealth show. Somewhere in that photo Steve Brown had a tape recorder – the true guerilla street performer! There are many other photos, some in color, and some footage. Jer is playing a Les Paul with P90s – one of his short dalliances. At the time they still had just one album out, locally successful. They played well enough given the circumstances – the standard set of winter '68 – but it's mainly a ticklister. Even with two missing tracks and missing tunings we have an hour of performance*, but sources that used to circ were poor. Now we have the best possible source for three songs*.
Average '68 versions of Viola Lee and Smokestack. Note that @13min in Love Light, Bobby & Pig switch vocal lines. The rest is middling and the tape goes crazy on pitch. TiftOO and Dancing in the Streets are missing.
Overall = 2¼ stars
Highlights:
not really, more of an historical listen
*This review was written for the superior vernon_9374 AUD source, which is mastered for hiss & modulation hum, pitch corrected, mono converted and more complete. It disappeared from the archive but still circulates. Older sources are not pitch corrected and are missing songs.
Regarding the vernon_9374 source:
The last two are still wild on pitch. Some spot checks:
It Hurts Me Too still needs -1% by 1min; -0% @1:30; right after 2min it quickly switches to needing +2%, then +5% by 2:15; +6% by 2:30; +3% by 2:45; +1% @3:05; -1% @3:10; -2% @3:15; -3% @3:45; -4% @3:50; -6% @4:00; 0% @4:25; -2% @4:45; and -3% @4:55.
Cryptical (uncorrected) needs -9% at the beginning, then 30secs in it needs -5%, and -3% by the end.

So just as I remember the stuff they put out from this period either warlocks or dead the sound of their music works to combine their special effects as they have always and are so grateful of. And just as this is the letter mailed in the air on the net somewhere or how.
