One Flying High [13:00]
Comments The date of this recording is unknown. The song is preceded by this intro: "...we're gonna do a little improvisation based on a thing called Flyin' High". Also this is spoken by Bill Graham: "We're gonna try something with the Man... he's going around the block... now, and at 2 o'clock he's gonna come in and check... the law, and so long as I announce... to you now that we are no longer having a dance and it is a private party, we can go on... So like... I would ask please... I'm sorry to take it away from you, but the few people who are dancing... whatever you have to do, do it in the next 2 minutes... get it on, get it off, and after 2 o'clock when the Man comes in we would ask you please... y'know... whatever you're gonna move, move it sitting down and then we can go on... so if anybody should ask you, 'Are you attending a dance?' you go: 'No, man, I'm attending a private party.' OK?" Carlin Reed: "Flying High was Country Joe & the Fish's "Dark Star". It was the first track on their first album. There's an official CJ&F release "Live! Fillmore West 1969" that has a live version of it from January 1969. It also includes something entitled "Donovan's Reef Jam", timed at 38:18, featuring Jerry & Mickey, Jorma & Jack, and Steve Miller.

One Saint Stephen [#2:40] > Cryptical Envelopment [1:42] > Drums (1) [0:14] > The Other One [4:28] > Cryptical Envelopment [6:03] > New Potato Caboose [10:46] > Alligator [3:20] > Drums [6:19] > Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks) [11:29#]
Comments (1) At 3:56 into the Drums after Alligator, they start singing Alligator vocals, and at 4:35 in to it Jerry joins in with a Caution type solo. Although this fragment circulates as "Fall 1968", "3/22/68 Detroit", and "May 1968", it is from an unlabeled reel. There is an entry for this set list on p. 164 of Volume 1 of the Deadhead's taping Compendium. According to Rob Eaton: "There were 5 unlabeled 7 inch reels found in the Vault many years ago. Several contained very early versions of Stephen. The tape you describe is one of these unknown reels. The best estimate for a date would be April/May 1968 or spring '68."

One Cryptical Envelopment [#0:39] > The Other One [5:24] > Cryptical Envelopment [9:37] > Good Morning Little Schoolgirl [14:49] % Dark Star [#13:33] > Saint Stephen [3:34] > The Eleven [12:09] > Death Don't Have No Mercy [8:#07] ; Turn On Your Lovelight [9:48#]
Comments The date and location of this recording are unknown. It begins with a cut right into the "doesn't seem to matter" line in Cryptical Envelopment. There is a six second or so drum solo intro to the Other one. At the "one man gathers what another man spills" break in Saint Stephen, Jerry and maybe two others laugh, but there are not really any words.

One Drums [#1:30]> Jam [13:59] > Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks) [1:07#]
Comments The date and location of this recording are unknown. Its hard to say for sure, but it sounds like late 1968 - maybe September or October or thereabouts. The Drums has that Bol scat "Ya, Ya, Yakita, Yakita" in it.
