Caleb - Thanks for posting this.  I've looked the infomation over and you are 
right!  I have updated my 6/19/68 entry accordingly and have made a preliminary 
2/19/69 entry also.  

Jim - 1969 is yours, so of course fix up the entry I made as you see fit.  I 
tried to follow your formatting method.

Band Grateful Dead 

Venue Fillmore West 

Location San Francisco, CA  

Date 2/19/69 - Wednesday posters  tickets, passes & laminates 

One [[60:16+]] ; [60:16+] ; Turn On Your Lovelight [#20:54] > Not Fade Away 
[4:09] > Turn On Your Lovelight [9:14] ; [25:59] (1)

Two [[54:21+]] ; [54:21+] ; Jam [7:16] > The Main Ten (Playing In The Band) 
[11:08] > 

Jam [23:19] > The Other One Jam [12:17] ; [0:21] %

Comments Billed as The Celestial Synapse. This is a very strange show. (1) This 
set ended with Lovelight and was followed by Don McCoy of Rancho Olompali on 
stage naked speaking to the crowd, followed by some chanting, and other 
shenanigans. There is an unknown guest guitarist who may be John Cipollina on 
the part listed as Set 2. The last 34 min initially circulated separately with 
some copies having more of the audience at the end than others. It sounds like 
it might not be the end of the show. 

This has long circulate as 6/19/68 and also as 8/29/68. Some copies have the 
Other One Jam cut and others are complete.

There is tape in circulation with this date, labeled "Garcia, Nelson & 
Wakefield, the Matrix, San Francisco 2/19/69," 90 SBD reels, but it is not 
Grateful Dead and (probably not Wakefield either). The SF Chronicle did list 
Casady & Kaukonen at the Matrix on this date, with Weird Herald opening.
