16 years old. I was there with my buddy Pat. We flew down to Seattle from Sitka AK and hitchhiked out to the farm. What a great event and fun for young rascals.
A great trip for all from the sound of it. /:-)
Life is amazing with the Dead!
Nothing beats the raw intensity of late 60's Dead
I only listen to 1960's Dead, now 😊
Right-ON !!! ✌️@@thenazarite2444
What makes it even more exceptional...the boys just showed up to play, they were not scheduled.
I was wondering why they weren't on the poster shown.
The poster is actually the back cover of a Seattle Helix newspaper....artwork by Crowley the paper's editor.
Nobody in the crowd knew they would play. Other acts playing that weekend were The Alman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Muddy Waters, The Youngbloods, Big Mamma Thorton, a young comedian Richard Priar Stephen wolf, Country Joe and the Fish and many more.
I got there before it began and stayed for the duration.

Thanks, Crann. I always appreciate a good time stamp. /:-)
Thankeee
In '68 NWest had Teen Fairs which showed off Musicians + then A Outdoor Jam Festival- 2 dudes + myself went to it- We took LSD every afternoon- was totally Awesome Event- we helped in kitchen+ Medical Tent- if someone was too High we Help Em Relax+ Enjoy the Trip- from a Stoner to a Bad Trip- we get back to Earth- me helped Big Mama Thornton open Bottle of Whiskey- Life was Easier on Us goin to Outdoor Gatherings- would do it All Over Again-
The dead went through various "stages". i have always believed this early stage was the best. The sound amazing, the creativity unbeatable.
Perfect mix of blues, jazz and psychedelic
Bobby basically thought they just kept getting better
An audio ballet.
@@craigjohnson2614 nah. The long decline began in '73
It was certainly an undistilled concoction of psychedelia & free-flowing musical magik...
God, I love the shows where you can really hear the drums.
Dark Star/St Stephen/The Eleven were a magic that this group discovered and is unsurpassed by not many other pieces of music.
You got it.
I still rate it over scarlet>fire in terms of continuity of song
Stanley Lerner Yeah, Stan. Was Richie Sheinbaum’s roommate freshman year until we swapped roommates and I started rooming with Ogden Fell and Richie got Tom Lord, if my memory still works. I had the white dog, Happy, who was definitely a campus dog. How you doing?
Love&Light 💯🌞⚡️♥️✌️
Wow. This setlist is like interstellar space travel via song selection...I can't wait to listen to this full show. Organic Raspberry jams...
ohyeahtheyare
From my vantage point this IS the Grateful Dead. Just think: almost 52 light years away from Earth there might be beings digging this episode of the acid age. If I had a time machine....
the sixties would be full of. people escaping from this times
Not to worry brother I’m working on it right now. What an escape to a better time it would be
Rent hotel with window
Near the Skykomish River just west of the Cascades. My aunt and uncle lived just down the road. They said there was never any rock shows in their neighborhood before or since.
Every time I think I’ve heard the most amazing show, somebody pulls out another one even more amazing.
Part of the magic of The Dead. They covered so much musical territory it's borderline laughable..
Early dead does this to me every single time
Just can't hear enough of this
This looks like a great set. Oh, for the good old days when you could have the band for brownies and Kool-Aide! Thanks for posting and sharing!😁
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I saw them at The Fillmore in SF in 1968. It was quite a show! Somebody asked me to dance (they had an area off to the side of the stage for people to dance). I must have danced for an hour non-stop and The Dead must have played an hour non-stop (the show was, if I remember, about 3 hours long; it was the second show of the night and The Dead played well after midnight). It was an incredible experience for me, one I will never, ever forget.
what a great memory
I was in the Air Force in Spokane. Bruce Hall of Seattle turned me on to pot. We drove to the Sky River Rock Festival and caught the afternoon show. Then back to the base. Missed the dead. Discovered them four years later and have remained forever true.
Brian
For 1968 the sound is excellent. Wonderful time piece. Love this
The Energy is so unique. So positive and raw. In essence, GD showed how they enjoyed life together. And it's inspiring to this day.
I love that joyfull sound that comes out of the elven any version I hear. Like a World party...
I am in tune with you on that...
To me, the story of William Tell releasing the bow, you feel the tension as he pulls it tighter, stretching it to its maximum. The releasing of the bow that creates a cascade of joy is the birth of the universe, and the gleeful surrender to the movement of everything. Every Thing. Every single thing is singing We Are Alive. The Universe Smiles at its own Creation, and we are blessed to be an integral part of it, sharing in the Purity of Joy...
@@svenbergman That's what I like to hear!! Feels good when the work is done
im in
Grateful Dead are the faster than light drive....Ken Kesey
There is nothing better than organic Raspberry Jam ! 😊
That lil tease while bill is still talkin it up is chefs kiss
I love raspberries!
I still miss Pigpen
forever will be , missed
Me too ❤️Pig🤟
Thank you for sharing this. The warm, fuzzy, intense, fantastic ride, freeform, charged sound of 1968 Dead. Wow.
JC playin' his SG with level 7 'verb, his best sound in my opinion....so immediate, emotive.
Actually he was still playing a Les Paul. The SG would come later that year.
@3243_ when I saw them in '68 (Feb) Jerry was playing his '52 (?) Gold Top Les Paul (with the big Honkin' trapeze tailpiece). "Pickin' & Grinnin'" a whole lot. 😊
Good one
This has got to be one of the BEST of any Dead shows I've heard over the 50 years I've been listening to them...the intensity of the playing, the DRUMMING!!!, the repertoire here, all make for one memorable performance.
They were young folks, like we all were then."God is alive, Magic is Afoot". Leonard Cohen
Wow I was born on this day 1971
aside from low vocals this set smokes. Everyone is participating in the sonic flow. Classic set list that accurately portrays a band with a plan for the evening. Reflecting the release of Anthem of the Sun the set delves into dense psychedelic territory.
Actually, low vocals are a good thing unless they're Pigpen's.
Their greatest era 68-72 thanks so much for posting I've never heard of the show before and I am always looking for new shows from this period
I'd have to add '73 and '74 to that era.
Agreed. This period was quite exploratory while still having enough time behind them to truly get "locked in"
73-74 were the last great years. They took on a new side of psychedelic exploration in the music but they also never went to far out there. Some of the best, if not the best, dark stars happened in 73. And they had new songs to give, it was a great period for them and it was a great ending to the true psychedelic side of the dead before the hiatus
completely agree! my younger friends like the late 70s-80s. i'm locked into 68-72 picking up shows thereafter
yeah, thats the real Grateful Dead to me,I was just marvelling at the set list,all my favorites.
"Lady finger, dipped in moonlight, writing "What for" across the morning sky... Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer, darkness shrugs and bids the day good bye" ... be the magic, spreading light through the darkness ...
Hunter wrote some fine lyrics indeed. Especially love St. Stephen and China Cat.
🌅
Been here so long got to callin' it home.
I lived 2 blocks down at Hayes/Ashbury
@@jeffmargulies3833 I live in Scotland & I've never been to San Fransisco. ✌️🏴
Phenomenal
Thank you,thank you, thank you
A show at an organic raspberry farm...how cool is that?!?!
Paul Jacobs
It’s very cool, Paul. Very cool!
It's cool, ok? It's cool!
The reason they did it was even cooler! Next time you’re at a health food store, check out Nancy’s Yogurt. That’s the business they did the benefit to help kick off and it still exists today!
@@alanmande Thanks for that little nugget! Very cool.
An organic raspberry farm in 1968!! A very righteous & beautiful benefit for sure!
Thanks for this! Jerry’s guitar sounds excellent. 💯🎶🐊🌹🥀🌝🍄🐐
Is a classic I was still in mom womb NOT born till 26 of this month ..my dad was in to country..mom loved the blizzard king got some old from the say doors stuff I hate to sound like young whippersnapper is it Phil and true Bob was like a baby 17 super young ?? I first saw 88 n feel in love ty again for this
Far out my first show wise in 81 Philly
God, when Jerry was 'on' he was 'ON!"
uncasist Ah hell honey, I think he was born on...only you who have ear's to hear my song💜
The whole band was "on". The interplay in "The Eleven" was amazing.
Close to the kind of party Woodstock was, a year before.
They were on an awful lot in those days. Many friends who weren't experienced found the band a little chaotic alive, but then they would get experienced and follow the alchemists on stage as they pierced the realm of expanded consciousness. The only time I remember seeing them at this time was a gig in GGP where they had these propane burners, as I called them. These huge (25 gallon?) cylinders of gas would have the valves opened by a person and then another person would light them and create this huge flame and explosion. I was scared shitless that a cylinder would blow up!. I kept a safe distance. I remember this craziness like it happened yesterday.
@@donaldgehre5964 Wow, that's crazy! I wasn't even a year old in '68. Jerry was getting old when I started seeing shows. I've seen many different musicians & Jerry was one of the few that could make you cry at the sheer beauty of the riffs he was playing. Then five minutes later make you want to jump & shout for joy! Few musicians can convey such emotion & the ones that can truly have a gift.
This my friends is/was what it was all about. The Acid Age.
Jesus loves all deadheads as His own.
Jason Barbush
Yes She does!
Fine but the jury is still out on him.
jc is ok, his followers not so much
being a Jew is a big responsibility and a heavy cross to bear , they hate you because you are guilty but need you to stick around to play the role of martyr in their next movie. don’t ask to play another or different role , you are typecast forever.
that caution into feedback is such psychedelic hardcore yumminess. I bet the people there were stunned when they witnessed these things live.
With headphones on full volume my head thanks you. Love the GD during this period and this recording brings it all out including the banter and layered instruments LLGD
Is this some kind of Mandela effect , I’ve never heard of this in about 30 years of devotion . How remarkable indeed!
Not a mandela effect...the was one of the first shows i was given by the person who introduced me to the dead....that was 20 years ago....crazy....20 years ago i fell in love with the grateful dead...while listening (over and over) to a show that was recorded 30 years before that.
I sure love me some organic raspberry psychedelia.
Damb I would want some ,where is this said patch of berries?
the eleven is my fav dead song (dig Scarlet and Bertha too) .....thanks for this....gonna eat 11 raspberries now to toast you for posting this
yeah will - eleven/scarlet/eyes - is my go to
Dark Star - the ultimate Acid Test!
si!
I just did this.
Open the video. Wait around a minute and a half and open it again in another browser. Repeat until you have four of them playing at once. Then open the March 2nd 1969 show, which is.....Dark Star. Listen to all five playing at once. It's crazy.
don't think I have enough browers LOL. Sounds like a trippy idea though.
Sure you do. I don't know what I was talking about. Just right click and keep opening new TABS....DUH ON ME.
ZavnorZ I'll give it a try when the opportunity arises and the mood is ripe.😜
did i miss the part where you suggested taking mushrooms.. they did this in the greyfolded series... multiple shows playing at once is not new.. but awesome someone is thinking it again... lol
thumbs up for the sheer exploratory inventiveness of the idea. its snowing outside (first snow of the season) which is always magical to me. i think its a perfect time to try your idea.
Great drumming
Awesome. This was before they had their ballads, hits, songs etc and were 'just' an amazing jam band. I mean...look at the set list. My the mid 70's St Stephen would be a closer and the audience would go berserk. Also can hear how much Jerry evolved as a guitar player in the next few years.
Too bad Stephen lost the fire it had in the 60s
In some ways - especially ferocity - he DEVOLVED.
concur, he was such a beast in the early daze
A speedly "dark star " never heard before NOW!!!!!
Speedy "Dark Star"s were the norm in 1968.
Back in the good old days; YES, I'll say it again, the good old days, when unexplored area was the rule of the day. Sometimes it worked, and most of the time it didn't. The best part was everything that was new was totally new. This works. The Muses were definitely dialed in, and helping things along.
+Casey Jones Yes, you´re dead right (pun very much intended) that the music of the hippie era, as exemplified by The Grateful Dead, often had a very deep spiritual dimension.
Any show seemed to be over in about 20minutes. ...but in reality it was 3 or 4 hours later
I've heard this claim made many times, but the majority of these shows are available on the live music archive and I don't think any of them lasted 8 hours. Unless they were taking 4 hour breaks, I doubt the legendary 8-hour show was a real thing.
I didn't mean to come off with an attitude, but you said the Dead "usually played eight hour sets..in those days," which I took to mean that an 8 hr show was pretty typical in 1968, the year of the show under discussion. I did exaggerate about "most" of the shows being available on the Archive though. They played something like 120 shows in 1968 and there are only around 40 or so available on the archive. But, even if a recording isn't available, you can go look at the setlist and see that an 8 hr show wasn't the norm (i'm not counting the times where they played multiple concerts per night). I'm not saying it never happened (e.g., I know the closing of Winterland show was pretty long), but was this really standard back in the early days? That was my impression as well from the early 70s, particularly 73-74 with the Seastones stuff and whatnot. I wasn't there; I only got into them in 1987. Anyways, would be cool to hear more about such long shows. I didn't think many of them lasted quite that long.
Dang, crazy story. Yeah, I guess dropping your kid on its head will change your perspective a bit, eh? Hopefully, anyways!
What a great show. Thank you very much for uploading this.
Thank you
What a great show!!!
Oooh what a beautiful board! Have known of this show since God only knows….finally get to hear it. Nice as rice.
That eleven
sounds really good
Amazing space and drums
Thank you so much for sharing this!,,,so happy right now!
Great find, thanks.
Thank you for this one. I had an audience tape of this one years ago. My tape was a lot slower. Hard telling how many generations it had come down from.
My birthday ❤🎉❤
Thank you. new to me.
I was four years old
Wonderful recording for an early festival show of the Dead. Love the festival poster, would even more if it was readable. Thanks, NFA, for sharing the joy from Betty's farm in '68. Almost like being there! L1.1KC184V64387/:-)
they were a different band in the late 60's........................
sam hamdan They had Pig Pen still and were blues and folk oriented with, of course, their psychedelic expedition well layered into those influences.
they lost a lot of mojo when pig checked out. many a night he closed the house down with his spotlight finales of Turn on your Lovelight.
GREAT BOARD..!!!.. only heard this on cassette..., not nearly as clear. Ya can't even hear the HUGE CROWD!
+Richard Moss ....and LOOK...only EIGHT DOLLARS...for ALL THREE DAYS (including camping)..!!! It's only $400.00, for this upcoming three day event...in Cowchella, California...in October!
Transcendental
damn those 2 sec gaps between songs!^^
Love the flat earth poster art.
this is my fave comment section ever
Love the guitar tone and exploratory rhythmic flow of mid-1968 Dark Stars. You could have made the case at this point that society was on the verge of something great. Then the November presidential elections happened and Nixon assumed power.
#endwriter #ChasingSun
Fabric - Chasing Sun right.....xy!#×!!!÷. Just turn on your Lovelight and leave it on........💜
Not sure what Nixon or anything else has anything to do with the fine music of the Grateful Dead.
music was great, though the comments can be dumb.
You could make that argument and sound like a washed up old asshole, yeah.
I think you're on point. America went through the wrong door the day Nixon won and we all knew it. Also the day we lost JFK before that, but September '68 (Also pre Altamont and Manson Murders) was still a time for hope.
I was only 11years old..exatly in that day...
Quick! Turn Phil's mic on!
LET PHIL SING
Lol. Lesh Is More.
Hell yeah 😄🌹
😄🌹
Beautiful playing! Greta fibnd! Thank you.!This was, by far their most interetsing period (for me.) Jerry's, Bobby's and Phil's signals are all a bit hot-distorted, but it is minor compared to the bounty of great playing.
The 'emcee' you hear for the first 20 seconds introducing the Dead is almost surely 'Buddha', the emcee for Sky River 1968'. A Bay Area night club emcee/bouncer, depending on the version. He was mentioned in the historical media coverage several times, not that glowingly, by Rolling Stone magazine, or local news coverage quotes from attendees. I can't remember him.
sky river and lighter than air
Maybe he was hip.
Can you get a better Match-Up: Betty's Organic Raspberries & the good ol' "Organic" Grateful Dead ? I mean,
Come ON !
They used to start a lot of early shows with Dark Star . It’s a bit mind bending .
Chose this for Pigpens birthday!
Sounds like the Dark Star they used in Greyfolded.
You may be right; I love Greyfolded!
There are over one hundred Dark Stars combined into Grayfolded! This could be one of them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayfolded
Yes, this is one of the versions used in Grayfolded.
Great show by the band, firing on all cylinders. Yet ironically this was during the time they were trying to kick Weir and Pigpen out of the band, because they felt the two were not keeping up with the other four musically.
The Dead were not better without Pigpen.
Dave Wilkes listen to this❤
i had a cassette of this
CHEERS!
i wonder if the kind folks back then said,
"Don't Panic- it's Organic!"
We weren't tripping on slogans, we were tripping. The door wasn't open for very long my friend.
judah sears
HHahahaha!
One of their better tunes
Daniel Curtiss
You think so?
I could picture TheDead on The Simpsons. Jimbo the bully with his 2 friends would say: “Hey Jerry Garcia! Like improvisation much?!Hahaha.”
44:13 for all you tapers out there to stop, ff, and record on side B
The playbill lists all these great bands but not the Dead. Did they just show up? How cool!
what a treasured document of magic... Too bad the Sons of Champlin weren't recorded from that show also. :):)
@kcotte59 why did you just wet snitch on yourself?
Most assuredly TC on organ.
No ... this was just Pigpen. Though TC had made a few appearances here and there (this was not one of them), he did not become a full time member until that November 1968.
@@jcedwards8363 Pigpen could fucking rock !
WOO PIG SOOEY!! 🐷🐖❤️
AHHHH Darkstar then St Stephen fuckin A what a start
How can I get me some?
yo
Is it possible to not put ads in the middle of dar star?
didn't know they used maracas in the early versions
When they played in the Park they also had large-really large gongs-and propane tanks they would open and light for rather large flames. You know, special effects. Funny, that time I remember seeing the Dead was the last time for some time and... I definitely hung out aways from those propane tanks. Being conservative at that point, I gave the band and those gas tanks a wide breath only because I hadn't yet discovered how well some heads could function on 1000-2000 mikes of Owsley. That would come later. I was a late comer when I began my apprenticeship in the Fall of 1966.
Donald Gehre Was that Mickey on those or did someone else play maracas and the propane? 😂✌️
Holy shit
68-69 Accept no substitute
