Contents

The two concerts were taped by audio engineer and LSD chemist Owsley "Bear" Stanley. They document the band in a transition period between the recording of the psychedelic rock album Live/Dead and the folk rock album Workingman's Dead .

Upon release, the album debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 11 on the week of August 13, 2022, becoming the group's second-highest charting album, behind 1987's In the Dark . [5]

The third song of the second set of the December 26 concert, "Cold Rain and Snow", was omitted due to lack of space. It was included as a bonus track on Dave's Picks Volume 44 .

Critical reception

On AllMusic Timothy Monger said, "For this special two-concert set, archivist David Lemieux dug into Bear's personal vault of sealed banana boxes to uncover a pair of late 1969 Grateful Dead gems.... Both are notable for their clarity of sound, 20-plus-minute versions of "Dark Star", and prime late-'60s glory." [3]
