02-28-1969
Fillmore West
San Francisco, California
This show was commercially released by the band as part of Fillmore West 1969: The Complete Recordings. It also happens to be frighteningly hot. It is nearly a perfect compendium of the best jam-ready tunes the Dead were playing in 1969 with the Other One suite, Dark Star> Stephen> Eleven, and Alligator> Caution. Most of these, expectedly, break into utter madness and mayhem as Jerry and the boys do all they can to absolutely melt your face. Like so much of 1969, this show is phenomenal.
Morning Dew, Good Morning Little School Girl, Doin’ That Rag, I’m A King Bee, Turn On Your Love Light
