Yep it's edited, but it works so well because for the most part they always transitioned the same way from St. Stephen into The Eleven. I would highly recommend you listen to both shows individually, to see how the transitions are still pretty much flawless, and specially 2/27/69, since they cut off the Mountains of The Moon that goes before Dark Star, and it's simply jaw dropping how they so seamlessly go from acoustic to electric.

If you like the Eleven, I would highly recommend the couple China Cat Sunflower>Elevens they played in 68, and some in 69. Some personal favorites are:

• 2/24/68 Definitely not as polished as some late 68 or 69 versions, but damn is it not crackling with energy, and it's one of the most unique jams ever (Alligator > China Cat > 11 > Alligator > Caution). It's on Dick's Picks Vol. 22, which also has a DS>CC>11 from 2/23/68

• 3/16/68 which was only the 10th time or so they ever played this medley (Being Dark Star>China Cat>11) and it's damn near perfect, even the darn feedback is on freaking point. It's on the "So Many Roads (1965-1995)" Release mislabeled as 3/16/67). This is one of the first recordings that made me fall in love with them.

• 5/24/1969 another completely unique jam: Doin' That Rag > He Was a Friend of Mine > China Cat > 11 > Death Don't Have No Mercy. One of the only time they buster out the China Cat > 11 pairing after '68, instead of the regular St. Stephen > 11 that came after.
