Yeah. Having listened to the new CD of the 1969 version, there's a totally different vibe to it from the familiar '71 one. 'What's Become Of The Baby' gives out a much scarier feel than the sanitised later mix: I listened to it on headphones and it totally freaked me out - in a positive way (one of the truly unsung highlights of the Dead's psychedelic years methinks). All told, I'm inclined to think we've been truly deprived all these years, and I'll always favour this first version as being the definitive one. However, I think there's still room for the 1971 mix which tidies up the appealing mess of 1969 for the post-Workingman's Dead/CSNY crowd.

Great to re-read Seth's erudite 2002 review, by the way.
