I don't know much about the GD, I was just looking for some David Crosby's tunes on Youtube and found that. As they are part of Alembic's history, stop to listen and got grabbed.  
 
Instantly thought on you, guys...

I do recall some particularly painful versions of Hey Jude from the late 60s.

Edwin:
 
I just listened to Hey Jude from March 1, 1969, at the Fillmore West. Your description of particularly painful is, unfortunately, accurate.  lol
 
Otherwise, the link is very cool!

That's the one. However, the rest of that run is spectacular. Well worth the price of the box set.

I found an on-line Grateful Dead radio station called Radio10 Dead and been uploading some of their music into my psyche. With respect to all, there is no danger of me taking in enough to become a bonafide dead head but what I've heard so far has been good and I will continue to listen.  
I'm just now listening to a live version of Desolation Row where the guitar playing makes me think Mark Knopfler has been influenced by the tone and style of playing.  
 
Jack Straw has just come on.

Don't worry, it's just a matter of degree in the DeadHead Spectrum Disorder.

I perceive it as a rather fortunate development in  ones mentation.

Without a doubt. I was just being self-deprecating. Sorry to drag everyone else into it! :-)

Edwin ,   DeadHead Spectrum Disorder ___could be complementary to a common interest and attribute to be proud of.
It might be part of the human brain's  evolutionary path towards developing more of our brains and developing higher levels of cognition .  That's what happens in a good jam with higher levels of non-verbal communication. It is the Magic .   The Dead have it, Good jazz players have it . All great musicians probably develop it to some point, You probably have it as well !

Jazzy, I'm assuming you've already listened to The Other One. If not, check it out! Phil's intro and the Dead's music served as a gateway into Alembicland for me.

The music was on whilst working so didn't really take much notice of the track names. I only noted the Desolation Row one because the guitar made me think of Mark Knopfler so I checked the name.

Jazzy:
 
To get a good approximation of a live Dead show on a good night, listen to Live Dead, a double album from the Fillmore in 1969 - one of the recording crew was our very own Ron Wickersham - especially Dark Star/St. Stephen/The Eleven (so named because it is in 11/4 time).
 
My name is Bill, and I am an unrepentent  Deadhead.
 
Bill, tgo

If you're really desperate there are a handful of rehearsal recordings from my dead tribute 'Woldflower Seed' on this reverbnation site (http://www.reverbnation.com/wildflowerseed4).  First gig on friday :-)

Or go to deadlists.com to listen to almost any show they did (though it gets skimpier all the time; as they release more Vault & Dick's Picks CDs/DVDs, they limit access to those shows).  There are also getting to be a lot of full shows on Youtube;  here's the 2/11/70 late show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0drVdSKy6Dk) at Fillmore East to get you started - because If It Ain't Live, It Ain't Dead!  Includes the legendary Dark Star>Spanish Jam with with the Dead, D. & G. Allman, B. Oakley, B. Trucks, P. Green, D. Kerwin, & A. Lee.

You can also check out a lot of Dead shows at archive.org. Many soundboards there! I wish that had existed 20 years ago so I wouldn't have accumulated 400 cassette tapes!
