Summary
I'm hoping that this high energy second set from the New Year's Eve show of 1969 helps to warm you up if you are stuck in the deep freeze as I am this week.. This tape has some choice early versions of some classic tunes as well as some that were played very infrequently that you may never have heard.. Alligator and the jams that come from it are a great start, The Eleven is fab, the early version of High Time - a favorite of mine. There are several cuts on this tape, and I hope that they don't interfere with your enjoyment of this slice of Grateful Dead history...

| 0:06.0 | This week we're going to get to hear the second set from this great New Year's Eve show |
| 0:10.0 | took place on December 31st, 1969 at the Boston Tea Party in Boston, Massachusetts. |
| 0:15.8 | This of course being set too, many think of as the highlight of the show, although the first |
| 0:21.0 | set certainly had some great stuff in it, especially that Uncle John's band. |
| 0:25.0 | That was a great one. |
| 0:26.0 | Tonight you're going to get to hear an alligator, drums alligator, what a great song. |
| 0:31.0 | Jam, a nice jam and then bid You Good Night Jam, it's called, back into alligator. |
| 0:35.9 | Caution is really nicely done. Some feedback, good love and drums. The 11, which you just |

| 1:07.0 | One's a tape flip, pretty obvious tape flip in the 11. |
| 1:10.0 | But some minor issues, but all in all, amazing, I think for as old as this tape is and certainly we get a good picture of the early dead and what's going to come in the great year that follows of 1970. |
| 1:24.6 | So glad you could pick us up. |
