Lime Kiln
Big Sur
CA
Garcia & Weir with Jim Stern and friends. According to Hooterrollin' blog: "There was a Vernal Equinox event on March 22, 1968, attended by perhaps 3,000 hippies, which was far too many for Big Sur. The weekend had turned into a sort of wake for Neal Cassidy, who had died the month before. There were, however, low-key events leading up to the Equinox. Producer Jim Stern, then a local drummer, said in a Jake Feinberg interview that his band sort of freaked out and bailed on playing, and said that Garcia and Weir showed up in Big Sur to bail him out. This would have been a sort of jam, presumably with other players, and a sparsely attended thing. The exact date is unclear, but it would have been daytime (March 20 definitely a possibility, and March 21 not out of the question)."

Deadlists comments, "This circulates as "Tuesday Night Jam" with: Jerry Garcia, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, Elvin Bishop, Steve Miller, Mickey Hart, and Will Scarlett. All those names except Will Scarlet are listed on the poster, which says it was a benefit ($1 admission) - but doesn't say what the benefit was for! The poster calls this a "Rock Jam" and says it will be "Heavy". This used to circulate as "Unknown '67 from the Matrix". Jorma was asked and he does remember this."

This database entry is for some of the unknown music that circulates as 1/27/68. According to DeadEssays blog: "An audience recording that circulates as “1/27/67.” Deadbase 50 suggests it’s from 10/31/67. The first two songs on the tape (Morning Dew & New Potato) are from an audience recording of 10/22/67, suggesting that the rest is either from another set of that show, or another show in that venue soon afterwards – there’s little noticeable change in sound. There are two drummers. (Alligator now has a drum intro, and a drum break in the middle of the jam.)" See http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2018/06/1967-show-list.html for more information.

COMMENTS 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."

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.

first Jam has some Cold Rain & Snow & GDTRFB flavor to it
second jam starts with Dark Star flavor
