Grateful Dead, June 4th 1970, Fillmore West
This, ladies and gentlemen. Grab your creature comforts of choice and settle in, because this is truly An Evening With the Grateful Dead, proper. The Acoustic GD will regale you with ten tales of trouble and woe and disaster narrowly averted, and then the Original Space Cowboys, yup, the New Riders of the Purple Sage (Jerry on sweet pedal steel still, kids, and Mickey playing decidedly non-country country drums) with their particular brand of lysergically-dripping Americana. And then, THEN, settle in deeper and allow your cerebral cortex to be gently pried open in the way only the Electric Grateful Dead can do. It’s all here, folks.
Oh, and have we mentioned this is a new find? A-freakin’-mazing that new tapes are still showing up, 43 years later. This is an audience tape, and if that phrase turns some of you off just go ahead and turn on again because this beautiful tape is everything that every audience tape wants to be.
