Wondering if anyone has heard and/or has any further info (validity, date) on the two supposed M&tHB fragments which were posted to etree on 1/16/05.

The text file for the show is listed below.

Contrary to the info file, the bass player sounds like Jack Casady with only one drummer. Also, as the info file states, I very much doubt this is Grateful Dead music.

Trk one has the bass player higher in the mix than Jerry. The bass part is essentially repetitive, although the guitar is interesting. Sounds like the tape cuts at ~ 13:00 minutes.

Trk two has more balanced sound and is a bit more varied. Around 13 minutes in, Jerry is playing something very reminiscent of the '68 Feedback jams, around 26:40 he's doing some vibrato work which sounds a lot like Cipollina.

Thanks in advance for any input.

1. jam // 13:18
2. jam // ^ 33:54

Notes:

I asked Michael Parrish for a copy of the mystery fragment reviewed in the taping compendium. This tape also included another fragment not reviewed in the compendium and was labeled 11 1 68, which is most likely incorrect.

* Here’s what Parrish supplied for source / lineage info: "Both of these pieces came in a cassette that Dwork sent me near the beginning of the compendium project. As I noted, track #2 corresponds to the first track of your "Mystery Disc" and I have never heard the other piece anywhere other than on the Dwork tape. It rang no bells with Dick L. either."

^ "The fragment I sent you as "11/1/68" is the same as the first track on your Mystery Show CD. I wouldn't necessarily bet that either is 11/1/68 though:)"

Review by Michael Parrish: "This mysterious fragment consists of another version of the jam that opens 10/30/68. It is notable for Garcia’s inspired and frenetic soloing, which has a rather unusual Latin feel."
