Dave & all: Jam (1) contains more than just Clementine hints, it's a full-out instrumental version. If you compare it to 1/26/69, you'll hear that they play the whole squence straight through.
This song is suprisingly well-developed on these Matrix shows & 1/26/69, and I wouldn't be suprised if this was played more often in late '68 than we have evidence of. Have any other studio rehearsals of this song leaked out besides what turned up on the remastered AoxomoxoA? tim Band Jerry Garcia And Friends Venue The Matrix Location San Francisco, CA Date 10/30/68 - Wednesday Set One Dark Star Jam > Death Letter Blues ; The Other One Jam > Turn On Your Lovelight Jam ; Jam (1) > The Eleven Jam > Death Don't Have No Mercy ; Jam ; Prisoner Blues (2) ; Jam ; Dark Star Jam Comments The "on the town" column in the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, by Ralph J.

Bobby and Pigpen were absent. (1) contains Clementine hints. (2) with Elvin Bishop. On page 26 of issue #34 (Summer 1996) of Dupree's Diamond News, Dick Latvala stated in an interview "What I know exists in our Vault are the shows, and they are on four-track 15 i.p.s." and "There are two dates, 10/28 and 10/29, both of which have four reels. On 10/30 there's a Dark Star Jam into a Jerry vocal, could be Death Letter Blues". He also stated "That's what's written on the box. I haven't listened to it." Recordings 180 SB Circulating recordings of the 1968 Matrix shows trace back to Bill Gadsden's reels. Bill and Peter Kafer made copies of Peter Abram's (owner of the Matrix) two track 7" Scotch reels in the summer of 1974. Peter Abram's reels were either Masters or 1st gens. There are also multi-track masters of some of these shows in the vault.
