Notes This has circulated as 5-29-69, though it seems much more likely

to be from the 11th. Deadbase lists Canned Heat & Santana as

sharing the billing with the Dead for the 11th. Deadlists.com lists a

partial setlist for 5-11-69, from Dew through Schoolgirl. A radio

announcer can briefly be heard speaking of Canned Heat during the

Cryptical Reprise. The guests almost certainly include multiple

percussionists from Santana, their singer briefly during Lovelight,

and some guitar from Carlos Santana, though his contributions

seem low in the mix and infrequent.

The lineage is unknown, although the radio announcers would

indicate this being from a radio broadcast. There are probably

several analog generations at least, but quality improves towards

the end and is listenable. There is a brief dropout in volume level

during the Cryptical Reprise. The first few notes of Me & My Uncle

have been clipped as radio announcers were talking. The cut at

the beginning of Alligator is minor.
