The story goes something like this: in October of 1968, Bob Weir and Pigpen were, in a sense, “fired” from the Grateful Dead due to their lack of commitment. The remaining members (Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh and Jerry Garcia) played a handful of shows later the same month at The Matrix in San Francisco in support of Elvin Bishop. Elvin Bishop (as well as bassist Jack Casady and a harmonica player identified as Marvin Gardens(?)) even make appearances in these not-quite-but-also-definitely Dead jams. The Hartbeats existed for two runs of shows, from October 10-12 and again from 10/28-31. There are allegedly other “Hartbeats” shows, but the story of not-quite-Grateful Dead ensembles is often murky and confounding, especially in the 60s, but that’s another matter entirely. The material on this takes from both the October 8th and 31st shows, and I have done my best to preserve what I believe is a possible running order between both shows as was presented on the album (though the actual setlist on any of these shows is up for a shocking amount of debate). For reference, the first 7 tracks are from the 8th, and the next 8 are from the 31st. What we have here is an incredibly stripped down and even more incredibly jammy version of the Dead. It has the earliest known versions of Cosmic Charlie and the excellent but little known motif The Seven (which has certainly seen stronger form, but that’s neither here nor there). Amusingly, Garcia will occasionally halt applause from the audience to remind everyone that this is more of an experimental jam session rather than any “real” show-on the full circulating tapes anyways. My personal favorites from the 10/8 section of the show are the Clementine and Eleven jams (the eleven most especially), and the Dark Star / Death Letter Blues / Other One from 10/30. Obviously, all of this is a fair bit different from traditional Grateful Dead, but for anyone who wants some primal dead at what is definitely their strangest iteration with the most jamming possible, it doesn't get much further out than this.
