Remarkable! Clearly there are more outtakes in the Vault than we suspected.
The only information given is that this was September '69. I have to wonder where it was taped, why they were taping it, and what other songs were done…and if the Dead taped other studio rehearsals in '69? -
It's amazing that there are still undiscovered Garcia provinces, even at this late date.
-
What we need is for someone to write a complete studio log for the Dead & Garcia, covering all their sessions.
Til then, a lot of it will still be in the dark, so to speak…. -
Yes. The problem is that the paperwork that should document all of that stuff has scattered to the four winds, if it ever existed – at least as far as I have been able to find. I probably have as much of that as anyone, especially on Garcia, and I don't guess I have anywhere near half of what actually happened.
Dribs and drabs can be fun, too.

just speculating – could this be part of the pigpen sessions that took place in 1969 at pacific high recording? or, a NRPS session?

With Bobby taking the lead, it feels more like GD moving into country than NRPS, but I just don't know. I have never quite understood how the Pig tunes fit into the whole mosaic, but it makes sense to me that they should be from the same sessions.

At first I thought it could be part of the Pigpen session, too. However, John Tenney (who was at that session) clearly remembered that Lesh & the Dead drummers were not involved in that session – they used another bass player & drummer that he invited. Whereas Seasons of My Heart is clearly all-Dead (and no sign of NRPS).
It's possible that the Dead continued the sessions without Tenney to work on some other non-Pigpen country stuff. Or possibly they booked some studio time just to tape some rehearsals, as with the mysterious Aug/Sep '68 pre-Aoxomoxoa sessions. We can only speculate! -
…and it turns out they did Sawmill, too:
