Notes

This show was brodocast live on KPFA-FM Berkeley.
The FM brodocast, from which the circulating tape derives, cuts in during Good Morning Schoolgirls.
The cassette master of from the FM brodocast from which these timing come has cuts, both brief, during
Cryptical reprise at 6:20 and 7:09. At 10:48 into the Viola Lee Blues the dead's instruments lose power,
Bobby says "it's seems someone is tryng to tell us something"
and they finish the tune with a chorus of vocals only

Subject: Great Dark Star.

A very open, inspired Dark Star! Fast-paced, jazzy and pretty out there. I agree with the other reviewer who said it's near the realm of the Live Dead version. Of course this one is it's own thing but a pretty great one at that.

I can't really review the entire set- After listening to the Dead for decades I only listen to Dark Stars and Feedback at this point.

No this show wasn't broadcast on KPFA. and when Phil farts it is a significant musical endeavor which must be givin it's own track. Yes a 12 second drums track is stupid, but there's this wonderful software (free mind you) out there called audacity that allows one to "tinker" with the music and if it annoys one that much that a 12 second track was separated from it's parent track, you can rejoin it with a few clicks of the mouse and all is well again. Personally, The whole thing is called "That's It For The Other One" and I splice it together with said aforementioned software and it gets me off. Oh and this is a pretty standard '69 show.

WHO DAT!!!!

Subject: 17 seconds?

Why is a 17-second drum solo separated into it's own track?

Subject: Flat soundboard,

with the volume varying from inaudible to blaring, of an average-at-best show.
