Although this circulates labeled as "1/23/68 Eagles Aud", no documentary evidence (posters, reviews,
newspaper ads, etc) has been found for shows there during the Quick and the Dead tour, other than
the two on 1/26 and 1/27. Joe Jupille researched the University of Washington Daily and the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer newspapers and only found an ad for QMS and the Dead on 1/26 and 1/27 in the
1/26/68 edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (the weekend entertainment insert, p. 6). He turned
up no mention of other Quick and the Dead shows at Eagles Auditorium. This show has one of the early
versions of the Other one lyrics: When I woke up this morning, my head was not in sight I would ask
the walls about it, but they vanished overnight I could not think to spell my name, or fly there was
no way and the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day I was skipping through the
lilly fields, when I came across an empty space it quivered and exploded, left a bus stop in its
place the bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began there was Cowboy Neal, at the wheel, of
a bus to never-ever land Not listed in DeadBase XI. There is no Drums after the first Cryptical, the
Other one has the original lyrics, and there is a tape flip in New Potato Caboose. Timings should be
updated.

11/03/2003 Dave Winters The etree listing dates this show as 2/2/68, but the text detail is for 1/23/68?!?!
08/10/2005 FB yeah but 1/23/68 never happened! ;-)
08/11/2005 Joey Browning This was a gdh broadcast at least 10yrs ago,with the date being 2/2 and if i remember he did 2/3 the next week.Thats probably the source for this.
02/09/2009 charlie miller The setlist matches the vault 4 track master reels for 1/23/68.
12/30/2013 cool_breeze Except for the date and SHNID, this source is an exact duplicate of SHNID 20347, filed under 1/23/68. If the date of this source is actually 1/23/68 -- which it almost certainly is -- shouldn't this entry be retired?
08/26/2014 cool_breeze Not to beat a dead horse, but it seems certain now there was a 1/23/68 show at Eagles Auditorium in Seattle. Road Trips Volume 2, Number 2 (released 3/21/09) includes six tracks from that show. According to the dead.net description of the release, they are "tunes from the Northwest Tour that were just recently discovered in a collection of tapes that had been languishing in a long-defunct San Francisco recording studio."
