Early Acoustic Dead Guide

"Ladies and gentlemen, the acoustic Dead"

-Bill Graham

And now, for my first actual post on here, I'm going to cover one of my favorite parts of the Dead's touring career: their acoustic sets of 1969-1970.

Most of my first posts on here are going to be a collection of what I've said about the Dead on reddit, because that's where I posted about all this stuff before I ever had a blog. So, I apologize for the repetitiveness, but I will try to update the posts if need be.

This was my response to a post titled "Acoustic Dead" on r/gratefuldead by u/asher92, which read:

"So i just listened to DP 8 and the acoustic set blew my mind, specifically the i know you rider. any other great acoustic shows i should look for?

https://archive.org/details/gd1970-05-02.sbd.BEAR.gems.108673.flac24

heres a link to the show, minus set 3"

At this point, I had finished listening to all of the Dead's shows up until 1970 (and beyond; I may have been somewhere around the second half of '72 by this point), so I decided "qualified" enough to provide an answer to his question.

So I was originally intending on only covering "historically significant" shows with acoustic sets, but hell, here's a synopsis on every acoustic tune/set the Dead played up until their last first run of acoustic sets:

Dec. 1968 - April 1969 (The Dupree's/Mountains Era):

12/20/68 - The very first time we get to hear any sort of live acoustic Dead, the idea being introduced by the very first version of Mountains of the Moon

1/18/69

1/18/69 - Mountains comes back after a month. What makes this version so special is the fact that there's video available of this broadcast. Not to mention that Bob's playing a 12-string, and T.C. a harpsichord. (Video: https://vimeo.com/10535211;
Jerry interview - 3:35,
Mountains - 5:30,
St. Stephen - 9:30)

(Worth mentioning: Dupree's Diamond Blues was originally played electrically, appearing on 1/24 & 25/69, and apparently also on 1/23/69, a rehearsal for their January 3-night Avalon run, which is available on the release "Download Series Vol. 12: 4/17/69", appearing as a bonus track)

2/11/69 - here it is. The first acoustic Dupree's>Mountains, followed by the classic triplet of Dark Star>St. Stephen/The Eleven, but then trailing off into a drum solo, and then re-awoken by another classic triplet: Caution/Feedback>AWBYGN. Also worth mentioning is the Cosmic Charlie encore, because usually AWBYGN was the last song of the night when it was played, so the fact that they had enough energy to bust out a rocker at the end of the night definitely must say something about their playing that night.

2/15, 2/22, 2/27, & 3/1/69 - The Dupree's>Mountains medley continues on, appearing on 2/15, 2/22 and then on two dates of their legendary Fillmore West run on the nights that the Alligator>Caution medley wasn't played (so, 2/27 & 3/1). Another note about the run, 3/1 was the first time that the medley didn't segue into Dark Star (although we do still get a tasty acoustic solo from Jerry). You could also argue that, even though they were played right after one another, Dupree's didn't directly go into Mountains due to the presence of tuning licks played between the two songs.

4/5/69 - Anyways, after the 4-night run, the two songs take a month-long absence from the repertoire, until it finally comes back on 4/5/69, again in the same order, though Dupree's doesn't go directly into Mountains. Mountains however, gives us a delightfully chunky transition into a unique medley of Dark Star>St.Stephen(w/ William Tell verse)>Lovelight.

4/20/69 - Two weeks later, Dupree's and Mountains make their respective appearances again, but this time appearing as 4/20/69's encore. This is the only time it'll appear this late in the setlist.

4/22/69 - Following the trend of their earlier April Avalon run, the Dupree's>Mountains medley appears in the middle of their 3-night run at the Ark.

4/26/69 - Now here's something interesting: this is the first (and only) time Dupree's>Mountains wasn't followed by a Dark Star. Instead, Jerry noodles around on electric for a while as T.C. provides some very interesting licks on keys, and Jerry suddenly starts up an energetic China Cat leading into Doin' That Rag. And take this into consideration: this was the opener. Definitely check this out.

June-July 1969 (Dupree's/Mountains Ultimate Demise)

6/7/69 - Over a month later, they bring back their acoustic chops and play the very first Dire Wolf (sung by Jerry; the next two versions on 6/21 & 27 are sung by Bob), followed by Dupree's, and then Mountains, followed by Dark Star.

6/21/69 - Dupree's appears as the only acoustic song in the middle of the late show, but Mountains is nowhere to be heard. Also worth mentioning that the day before this, Aoxomoxoa was commercially released. 

6/27/69 - Same story here, Dupree's is here, acoustically, but Mountains isn't. This would be the last time Dupree's would be played in an acoustic saying before giving its electric farewell performance on 7/11/69.

7/12/69 - The last acoustic Mountains, lasting a whopping 9 minutes. Definitely a significant performance of the song.

Dec. 1969 - Apr. 1970 (Acoustic Set Sandwiches)

4/18/70?

12/19/69 - The start of the acoustic sets. The show starts off with the very first Monkey & The Engineer, and is then followed by the first performances of the fairly rare standards, Long Black Limousine, Little Sadie, & Been All Around This World. An electric set finishes off the show. (4 songs, 4 debuts)

12/26/69 - Another show-opening set. After kicking off the show by repeating 12/19's acoustic set in the same order, they start up the rare one-off "Gathering Flowers For The Master's Bouquet" and then head into the first acoustic versions of Black Peter and Uncle John's Band. (7 songs, 1 debut)

1/31/70 - Rather than starting out the show acoustic and ending it electric, this show does the opposite, starting out with an electric set, and then finishing off with an acoustic set. It starts out with Long Black Limousine, leads into the first acoustic Seasons, and then the first ever (and only Dead acoustic version of) Saw Mill (Bobby goes on to play this song with the New Riders on 5/2, 5/7, 5/15, and 9/18; check the New Riders archive/certain copies of these shows on the Dead's archive to hear 'em). They then get into the last of the two versions of Old Old House (not to mention the only time it gets played acoustically). Afterwards they jump into the second ever, first acoustic version of The Race Is On. Our first acoustic medley (besides Dupree's>Mountains) is introduced; Black Peter>Little Sadie followed by Been All Around This World. For all you Pig lovers, this is the first time Katie Mae is played. The show then ends with the first acoustic version of Cumberland Blues. (10 songs, 2 debuts)

2/11/70 - The show ends with a standalone acoustic encore of Uncle John's Band. (1 song)
2/13/70 - The boys try out yet another acoustic set placement by playing their wood music in between 2 electric sets. Monkey and the Engineer is the opener again, for the third time so far, followed by Little Sadie. Now for a medley with a brand new tune to kick it off: Wake Up Little Susie>Black Peter. Uncle John's Band follows, and Katie Mae closes out the set while the band gets their electric instruments together to launch into a 2nd set for the ages. (6 songs, 1 debut)

2/14/70 - Monkey & The Engineer opens up the acoustic set yet again. However, on this night they then play their first Dark Hollow. After Been All Around This World, they finish the set the same way they did last night: Susie>Peter, Uncle John's Band, and Katie Mae. (7 songs, 1 debut)
(Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQxVi0j90MQ)

2/23/70 - After Bob tells the tale of this ol' yeller dog, We get another Monkey opener, followed by Little Sadie, and then the first acoustic Me And My Uncle. Then, sandwiched between Black Peter, and the Uncle John's set closer, is the last ever version of Seasons. (6 songs)

2/28/70 - A short acoustic set appearing randomly in the middle of a 3-night run at the Family Dog sandwiched between 2 electric sets. After the usual Monkey opener, we jump into a Little Sadie>Black Peter (see Black Peter>Little Sadie on 1/31/70). This Little Sadie is also the last one until a one-off bust-out on 10/31/80. (3 songs)

3/8/70 - Another Monkey opener, the last of them (for now), followed by Been All Around This World and then Me And My Uncle. But here's where it gets unique: the next number's Katie Mae, right? Well, at one point, an unknown singer gets onstage and starts singing an unknown tune that I have dubbed as "Wake Me, Shake Me". And it's during this tune that the rest of the band gets on their electric instruments and help him finish the tune. And after a brief pause, they get into an energetic Not Fade Away>Lovelight. Really interesting stuff. (5.5 songs)

3/20/70 - During this first night of this 2-night stand at the Capitol Theater, we lose the Monkey opener, and end up instead with Deep Elem Blues to open the set, the first one to be played since 1966. Then, a brand new tune: Friend of the Devil. Another tune not played since '66, Don't Ease Me In is brought back, and used as a launching pad into Black Peter. After a tape cut, we get back to two standards: Uncle John's Band, and Katie Mae to close out the set. (6 songs, 1 debut)

3/21/70 - Night two. Nothing we haven't heard before, or aren't going to hear again, but we do get the first double-medley acoustic set. Friend of the Devil opens the set, and Deep Elem takes its previous place by being the second song in the set. After that, a Don't Ease Me In>Black Peter, and  Little Susie>Uncle John's Band. After some teasing from Bob, Pig closes the set with Katie Mae. (7 songs)

4/3/70 - Following last night's trend, the set opens up with Friend of The Devil, then Don't Ease Me In. After, the very first Candyman is unveiled, followed by Little Susie>Black Peter and Uncle John's Band. Katie Mae closes the set, for the fourth time in a row. (7 songs, 1 debut)

4/17-19/70 poster

4/18/70 - Billed as 2 separate groups: Mickey Hart & His Heartbeats, and Bobby Ace & His Cards From The Bottom Of The Deck (presumably as to not disappoint anyone coming to the show hoping for some big jams). A rare entirely acoustic performance (one of three), starting out with the first acoustic version of I Know You Rider, and the now-standard Don't Ease Me In, followed by the first acoustic version of Silver Threads & Golden Needles. After Friend of the Devil, Deep Elem Blues, and a unique medley of Susie>Candyman, Jerry hops on electric guitar for Cumberland Blues and the first acoustic New Speedway Boogie. After the tune ends, John "Marmaduke" Dawson and David Nelson sit-in for the first time for Me And My Uncle & Mama Tried. Then we are treated to something incredibly special: Pigpen takes over for an uber-rare nearly 19-minute solo acoustic set. Starting with Katie Mae, and after a tape cut, The Rub. We are then treated to the rarities: Roberta, Bring Me My Shotgun, and the medley of The Mighty Flood>Black Snake. (17 songs, 5 debuts)

May-Sept. 1970 (The Flower Is In Full Blossom)

5/1/70 - The first full-length acoustic set. Starting off with Deep Elem Blues, and I Know You Rider, we are then treated to the unique medley of Monkey>Candyman. Marmaduke and Nelson come on up to help on Me And My Uncle and Mama Tried. After a Cumberland Blues, the Riders come back in to treat us to the last Race Is On until 1973. But after Jerry hops on electric for a unique rendition of Little Susie and the standard acoustic rendition of New Speedway, Marmaduke and Nelson help the Dead out again with the first song introduced into their gospel repertoire, Cold Jordan. The set closes with Uncle John's Band. (12 songs, 1 debut)

5/2/70 - A classic set from a classic show (the reason the above thread was created). "Dough Knees" kicks things off, with Pig wailing away on harmonica. Following I Know You Rider and Friend of the Devil, we get the first acoustic version of Dire Wolf and the only acoustic Beat It On Down The Line. Then, after Black Peter, we're treated to the unique medley of Candyman>Cumberland Blues, followed by more blues from Deep Elem. To end the set, a couple of New Riders (Marmaduke & Nelson) join in on Cold Jordan, followed by Uncle John's Band. (11 songs)

5/3/70

5/3/70 rear view

5/3/70 - A short set. After Deep Elem Blues and Friend of the Devil, we're already halfway through it. We're then treated to a Silver Threads, and a Black Peter to close off the set. (4 songs)

5/7/70 - One of my personal favorite AUDs of the year (also the first time I finally listened to the New Riders). Starts just like 5/2/70: Don't Ease, I Know You Rider, and Friend of the Devil. Afterwards, Me and My Uncle, Deep Elem Blues, and Candyman. Then, Jerry gets out his electric for Cumberland Blues and New Speedway. The set ends with Black Peter and Uncle John's Band. (10 songs)

5/14/70 - A short set. Starts out with Don't Ease, followed by Friend of the Devil, Deep Elem, Silver Threads, and Candyman to finish the set off. (5 songs)

5/15/70

5/15/70 - The first of two times there's been an early and late acoustic set in one night (see 6/24/70 for the second time).

5/15/70

~Early: This set also starts just like the acoustic set from 5/2/70: Don't Ease followed by Rider. We're then treated to the first full-band performance of The Rub. After Friend of the Devil, Long Black Limo returns after a 3.5 month-long absence for its final performance. After Candyman, Garcia busts out his electric for Cumberland and New Speedway. The set closes with Cold Jordan. (9 songs)

~Late: After Deep Elem opens the set, The Ballad of Casey Jones makes its debut, having only one other performance 2.5 months later. Following it: Silver Threads, Black Peter, Friend of the Devil and Uncle John's Band. After the next tune, Candyman, Pigpen comes on for the debut of the rarity, She's Mine, followed by his standard of Katie Mae. The set then ends with another rarity, and just like the early set, a gospel: the debut of A Voice From On High (usually mistitled as "I Hear A Voice Callin'). (10 songs, 3 debuts)

6/4/70 - Now here's something not seen in a while (specifically, almost 3 months): Monkey opener! Deep Elem follows suit, trailed by Candyman, Silver Threads, Friend of the Devil, and Black Peter. As usual, Jerry plays electric on Cumberland, and holds onto it for Little Susie's return after a month-long hiatus. We're then treated to the debut of the last of the additions to the Dead's acoustic-gospel repertoire: Swing Low Sweet Chariot. Uncle John's Band closes the set. (10 songs, 1 debut)

6/5/70 - An unusual opener for this pretty standard show: Dire Wolf. Following it is Rider, Silver Threads, Friend of the Devil, Me And My Uncle, and Black Peter. The semi-electric New Speedway closes the set (also, not really related to this post, but check out 6/6's Good Lovin'/New Orleans/Good Lovin' sandwich; real good stuff). (7 songs)

6/7/70 - Dough Knees opener, followed by the last Silver Threads. After Friend of the Devil and Candyman, we get two gospel songs in a row: Cold Jordan and Swing Low, followed by a triple dose of electric Jerry: Cumberland, Me And My Uncle, and a New Speedway to close the set. (9 songs)

6/24/70 - The second/last of the 2 acoustic sets in 1 night. Also, this show happened 10 days after the commercial release of Workingman's Dead.
Early: Another Dire Wolf opener. After Don't Ease Me In, we get our very first acoustic version of Attics of My Life, followed by Friend of the Devil and something incredibly unique about this set: the last (and only acoustic) public performance of only two of the very rare tune Let Me In (3 versions circulate, if you count the 11/21/70 acoustic radio broadcast tape with Bobby, Jerry, and Duane Allman). After Candyman, Uncle John's Band closes the set. (7 songs)
Late: Now to kick off this set, we get the first "official" (they played this tune once on 9/7/69 in a jam session with members of Jefferson Airplane) performance of Big Railroad Blues (and an acoustic performance at that). The rest of the set is pretty common: Deep Elem, Friend of the Devil, Candyman. And after Jerry goes electric on Cumberland, the set closes with Cold Jordan. (6 songs, 1 debut)

6/27-7/4/70 (Festival Express) - A bit hard to do a write-up of these performances, since only fragments of these shows circulate, mainly on the Festival Express DVD (which I highly recommend picking up a copy if you haven't done so already). However, here's some video of their acoustic performances from this tour:
6/27: Friend of The Devil - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhCh72hg2Hg&t=3m07s
7/3: Don't Ease - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp1MiIq9RQ8
Train Sessions: Cold Jordan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ob7EtSTbw8
Ain't No More Cane - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVDDD9bScPk

7/11/70 (commonly mislabeled as 7/12/70) - Another Dire Wolf opener. Now, we have three back-to-back unique performances: another version of The Rub, the debut version of the purdy lil ol' song, How Long Blues, and Dark Hollow's return. After Friend of the Devil and Candyman, we hear the last of the acoustic Pig (for now), but luckily for us, he goes out with a bang, starting out with the standard Katie Mae, and then going on to finish with a medley of two very, very seldom-played tunes: Bring Me My Shotgun>She's Mine. Two more rarity debuts after that: Rosa Lee McFall and Tell It To Me, before the set closes with an unusual closer: Little Susie (with Jerry on electric; I'm guessing it was the closer so he wouldn't have to switch instruments two more times, and because the set was already fairly long for their acoustic sets). (12 songs, 3 debuts)

7/12/70 (commonly mislabeled as 7/11/70) - Monkey opens the show for the first time in a month. After Don't Ease, we're treated to the last Been All Around This World of this era. Afterwards, we're treated to another Dark Hollow, and a Black Peter, along with their very first performance of El Paso, played acoustically. After Jerry goes electric on New Speedway, we get a very special treat: the only performance of So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad). Then, after another Rosa Lee McFall, we get yet another triple-dose of gospel tunes to close the set: A Voice From On High, Cold Jordan, and Sweet Chariot. (12 songs, 2 debuts)

7/14/70 - An exceptionally crisp SBD. Don't Ease opens, followed by Friend of the Devil, Dire Wolf, another Dark Hollow, Candyman, and Black Peter. Then, we get a triple dose of the blues, starting with the rare How Long Blues (in exceptional quality), a sped-up Deep Elem, and Jerry picking up his electric for the last two songs of the set: Cumberland and New Speedway. (10 songs)

7/30/70 - The second of the only acoustic shows (fourth, if you count the missing tapes of 4/17 & 4/19). We start the show off on a very high note, with the first-ever To Lay Me Down. After Dire Wolf and Candyman, David Nelson sits in on Rosa Lee McFall, and then Marmaduke hops on stage for a double-dose of gospel to end the show: another A Voice From On High followed by Sweet Chariot. (6 songs, 1 debut)

Dick Latvala's notes on 8/5/70

8/5/70 - The last of the only-acoustic shows of 1970, this one being much longer than the last (along with being the longest acoustic set of the 70s, and with exceptional sound!). I mean hell, even Dick Latvala noted this as being his favorite acoustic show. Oddly enough, Candyman opens the set, and it only gets weirder from there. The second ever El Paso, Rosa Lee McFall, the only circulating SBD recording of Tell It To Me (Cocaine Blues), and the only performance of Drink Up And Go Home. We get an early-on triple-dose of gospel tunes rarely enough: A Voice From On High, Cold Jordan, and Sweet Chariot. Afterwards, we get some standards: Deep Elem, Dark Hollow, and Friend of the Devil. Mama Tried makes its acoustic return after a 3-month absence, and we get the second version of To Lay Me Down. After Dire Wolf, they close the set with the 2nd and last performance of The Ballad of Casey Jones. (15 songs!, 2 debuts)

8/18/70 - American Beauty fans rejoice! This show starts off by featuring the first performance (acoustically, I might add) of Truckin', followed by Dire Wolf, and another American Beauty tune, Friend of the Devil. Afterwards, we get an acoustic medley for the first time in 3.5 months (since 5/2/70), and not to mention the fact that it's a double-debut medley: Ripple>Brokedown Palace, followed by the debut of yet another American Beauty tune, Operator. Afterwards, Rosa Lee McFall, Jerry on electric for New Speedway, and two gospel tunes to close out the set: Cold Jordan & Sweet Chariot. (11 songs, 4 debuts)

8/19/70 - Another month-long awaited Monkey opener. Then, How Long Blues followed by Friend of the Devil, Sark Hollow, Candyman, and the last Ripple>Brokedown medley. Also, it's worth noting that all of last night's American Beauty tunes are performed on this night, trading out Operator for Candyman (but all in all, 5 American Beauty tunes each night). After Truckin', we get the very last Tell It To Me, followed by Rosa Lee McFall, and Jerry-electric versions of Little Susie and New Speedway. To close off, Cold Jordan and Sweet Chariot. This night ends with the same last 3 songs as the previous night. (14 songs)

9/17/70 - Truckin' starts off this 4-night run at theFillmore East, but is cut too short due to a lack of presence from the guitars on the monitors. Once the boys start it back up again (and actually finish it this time), they get into Monkey and Dark Hollow. This is the third night in a row that they play 5 American Beauty tunes back to back, 4 of them being played one after the other: Friend of the Devil, Ripple, with Brokedown Palace following suit, and Box of Rain's debut (and a must-listen rendition, as well as being probably my personal favorite version of the song, as it sounds most reminiscent to the studio version; it wouldn't be played again in an acoustic setting). After Rosa Lee McFall, we're treated to a gospel medley of Jordan>Sweet Chariot. (10 songs, 1 debut)
9/18/70 - Only two songs this night, Truckin' (to open the set, just like last night) and Black Peter, the shortened set due to it being "just, horrible up here". But, a set's a set. (2 songs)

9/19/70 - Same as last night, a two song set: Jordan>Sweet Chariot (though, the tape cuts in, so they most likely played more beforehand, especially considering the fact that gospel tunes usually closed a longer set before it). Also, this features the last performance of Cold Jordan (as well as the last Schoolgirl in the electric set). (2 songs)

9/20/70 - The last of the acoustic sets until the Nov. Capitol Theater run. Speaking of lasts, this is the show where the acoustic sets start winding down. They start off the set with an unusual opener, Uncle John's Band. Following it, is Deep Elem Blues, Friend of the Devil, and the only SBD-quality acoustic Big Railroad Blues. After Dark Hollow, we get the only SBD-quality acoustic Ripple, the last acoustic To Lay Me Down until the 80's, and the very last acoustic version of Truckin' (also, To Lay Me Down and Truckin' are accompanied on piano, and Ripple on mandolin by David Grisman). After the pretty Rosa Lee McFall, we get Jerry-electric versions of Cumberland and New Speedway, with the only SBD-quality acoustic Brokedown Palace to close the set. (12 songs)

Capitol Theatre - Nov. 1970 (The Final Run)

11/5-8/70 poster/program

11/6/70 - The beginning of the end. After prevailing through some technical difficulties from the start of the show (aborting Candyman and Uncle John's Band twice, and never finishing either one), they start off the show with the last acoustic version of Attics of My Life, followed by the standards: Don't Ease, Deep Elem, Dark Hollow, and Friend of the Devil. They then get into the last acoustic version of The Rub. After Black Peter, El Paso makes a return after a 3-month long absence from the repertoire, followed by Brokedown Palace. Uncle John's Band closes the set. (10 songs w/ 2 attempts)

11/7/70 - After Deep Elem opens, and Monkey follows, we get the last acoustic version of Big Railroad Blues, followed by the seldom-played Operator. Afterwards, we get an El Paso, and the very last How Long Blues (2/12/89's How Long Blues isn't the same song, I'm pretty sure). We then get to hear Ripple, and the last acoustic version of Brokedown Palace. Uncle John's Band closes the set (last two songs of this night are the same as last night). (9 songs)

11/8/70 - Here it is, folks: the last acoustic set of 1970. Starts off with the last acoustic Dire Wolf in the key of A, followed by the last slowed-down acoustic I Know You Rider. Dark Hollow, Rosa Lee McFall, and El Paso are brought back acoustically in the 80's acoustic sets. The last Operator, followed by Ripple, which would be brought back acoustically in the 80's acoustic sets; same for Friend of the Devil, albeit not in the same key. Wake Up Little Susie bids its final farewell, and the set closes off with the last acoustic version of Uncle John's Band. (10 songs)

(There is a circulating tape of Jerry, Bobby, and Duane Allman from 11/21/70 at WBNC Studios playing a 6-song radio set. The setlist goes as follows: El Paso, Big River (only acoustic version), I Know You Rider, Jam, Dark Hollow, Angie (only time played), Let Me In (last performance of 3 in total, 2 of them being acoustic)).

Stats:

Longest sets:                                                                                              Most debuts:
