Late 1968: The Grateful Dead Is In

Ahh, it's late 1968, and we don't even know all the shows or the setlists (see Cincinnati and Philly below for fragments).

According to Deaddisc, the only official releases after March 1968 for the rest of the year are:

March 17, 1968 Live Download Series, Vol. 6: 3/17/68, Grateful Dead, 2005
June 14, 1968 1 track Fillmore West 1969 Bonus Disc, Grateful Dead, 2005
Aug 13, 1968 3 live studio outtakes The Golden Road (1965-1973), Grateful Dead, 2001
Aug 23, 1968 3 live songs The Golden Road (1965-1973), Grateful Dead, 2001
Aug 23, 1968 3 live songs Two From The Vault, Grateful Dead, 2007 (exp edition)
Aug 24, 1968 9 live songs Two From The Vault, Grateful Dead, 1992
Oct 20, 1968 Live 30 Trips Around The Sun Box Set, Grateful Dead, 2015
Late 1968 Recorded Aoxomoxoa, Grateful Dead, 1969

 Here's a taste from that era that does exist .We do know 12-7-68 which deadlists times as

Set One
Dark Star [#13:25] > Saint Stephen [4:01] > The Eleven (1) [3:49] ; [4:00] % Death Don't Have No Mercy [#2:49] ; [2:11] % Cryptical Envelopment [#0:03] > Drums [0:14] > The Other One [6:10] > Cryptical Envelopment [7:00] > Jam (2) [0:49] > New Potato Caboose (3) [14:10] ; [0:26]

Set Two
Rosemary [#3:00] ; [1:48] ; He Was A Friend Of Mine [6:03#] ; [0:03] ; It Hurts Me Too (4) [#4:51] ; [2:08] ; Morning Dew [8:35] > And We Bid You Good Night (5) [2:50] ; [0:21]



Set one looks plum but set two looks kind of short but we did have to leave room for Oxfords, Stone Henge and Waters and the show did start at 9:30
