FM Broadcast (WBCN Boston); Master Reel to Reel ... Matt Smith's 1st generation Reels
Notes:
- Thanks to Matt Smith for the 1st generation reel source and the transfer
- Thanks to Charlie Miller for coordinating this effort
- Based on this copy, we now know, that the majority of what we thought were tape flips on previous versions, were actually the editing of the radio station id's and between song banter/tunings. Previous versions had cuts at the beginning of "Black Peter", the end of Sunshine Daydream, in the middle of "Deal" and in the transition between "Turn On Your Lovelight ... Going Down The road Feeling Bad". The only cut remaining is the one in the middle of "Deal" and we also now know that there was no "gozinta" from Lovelight... GDTRFB. Lovelight ends, there's a radio station id and then GDTRFB starts. This transcription also contains most, if not all, of the between song banter and tunings
- Upgrade to all circulating copies (3/21/2018)

![Grateful Dead - Skeletons From The Closet (Full Album) [Official]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JCaIgLUGjt4/mqdefault.jpg)
To help promote the latest live album “Skull and Roses,” The Dead (or Warner Brothers) made a deal in advance of the fall/ winter tour to do as many simulcast FM broadcasts from whatever local station that was willing to carry it. This resulted in the first wave of quality tapes to circulate among the faithful. Some found their way to bootleg LP’s. The “Felt Forum” NYC show being the most widely available . That was actually my first live Dead boot, as it was sold at many record stores and head shops. Locally for me, the Auditorium Theatre Chicago from WGLD Oak Park was one of the earliest live cassette tapes I had.
These FM’s began in Minneapolis on 10-19 and ended at Winterland on New Years Eve. Around 16 or 17 shows were broadcast to the respective local radio listeners. This ramped up the trading culture more than people realize, and gave the band much needed national radio exposure.
Many FM stations broadcast rock and roll shows in the early 70's. College radio stations would do the same. It was great. Do they do that now? Of course not.
For the copyright dispute for this show, I told em it was a recording of an FM broadcast - "in the public domain, by definition!" :)
Nice job on the story line I was just a baby when this came out.
Just love their jam as an adult
FM needs to return to doing things like the King Biscuit or was it the Queen Biscuit Show late at night that shared concerts to the masses?
Thanks again for making the scene have some texture and relevance in history.
@@WallofSound65this jam is SO COOL
Words don’t begin to describe the feelings of gratitude,
I do hereby ask if the closest person to you give you a BIG WARM HUG for sharing this!
I picked up a copy of the Felt Form LP at Deja Vu records in Harvard Square in 1976. My first bootleg LP followed fairly quickly by Make Believe Ballroom.
Wall of Sound represents once again. The best channel on UA-cam.
Imagine a Band that changed the American Experience for the BETTER ?!
Just saying how many people I have met that said they just loved the people & the scene.
The music validated the experience of a reality
of kindness and love towards your fellow man.
Didn’t matter your size sex or color or lack there of any rainbows tie dye or bubbles.
Yet the truth be told the the planet is a better place having the paradigm affected by that sense of community.
A sincerity on an emotional level of ALL humans are humans
And they have right to celebrate life with their fellow humans
who share a similar empathy and respect for what really counts
Respect the respect of God in the music that was the inspiration
that will never end for our countless generations of descendants to enjoy.
Thank You Wall of Sound for sharing this part of American History of Music
preserved in the present to still
Be loved and enjoyed by all of us on planet Earth!
BRAVO to the level of production clarity and fidelity
As well as the experience of being there with the happy dancing people!!
Human history. I appreciate your words brother

Thanks
thanks so. hero.
Much thanks, buddy!
Oh sheeeett!! The good Ol' Grateful Dead coming around the corner on this fine, fine, morning that we are so blessed to be a part of. Another great way to start a day of energy conservation efforts alongside a Wall of Sound post! Even though the world is in an imperfect place, the boys always seem to offer us all a means to ground ourselves. Thanks be to the Grateful Dead, the tapers, and the archivists for the continuous outpouring music. May generation after generation get to listen to the sweet, sweet sounds that fill the air. Forever Grateful!!
Keith and Pig together! Mind blown
The '72 Academy of Music, NYC are the same lineup. There's also a tape circulating on UA-cam "Christmas '71." Or "Christmas '72....it's got all Pig & Keith.
This tape, as I recall, was pretty hot versions of every tune.
Peace!
🌹🌹🌹
Thanks brother @@gymrat22able
thanks for the info 22able. :)) gotta love say 70-74? Or so . Tomorrow my favorite is late 80s. Monday will be something different :))
@@gymrat22able thanks. need to dig up. again thanks man
@@gymrat22ableNice, cheers
Wow, Keith AND Pigpen !! Cool
They overlapped for about 8 months, 10/71 to 6/72
Keith really made it sound like an electric band was playing in an old west tavern on those country numbers. Such a strange and perfect rock outfit. Thank you Wall of Sound!!
This is glorious. One of those nights that connect you to the band and Jerry forever. I have listened to a lot of shows, but I don't remember if I've heard this one. If anyone wants to mention their favorites, I'd love that. 70-74 is my sweet spot. 67-70 was amazing too, but for me, these are their peak days
Thanks! For me it is '69-'71, 1975, 1977, '82-'85 and most any show opening with Bertha!
NFA
😂
Early 70's always hit me nicely.
One of my all times fav is 2/13/1970, the show that has 90 minutes of The Other One, Dark Star and Lovelight, just epic
absolutely ... those 4 years gave us 6 albums of iconic tunes ... their most prolific period
Many FM stations in 1971-72 broadcast great rock and roll shows. That era is gone now. Thanks to everyone who decided it was a good idea and did it!
Yes, back in the day. No bubble gum here brother. Lol 😎👊🤠🇺🇸👍
and then there was that brief period from feb 71 - oct 71 when it was the core 5 .. see the fillmore east shows from april 71 for that collaboration ... weir is clear in the mix without keith's piano ...
Dead from the Celtic city! Awesome ☘️❤️🔥 thanks Wall 👍
Always loved Smokestack! That and Easy Wind are my two favorite with Pig on vocs
Interesting of note, this was the last time Pigpen would ever play in Massachusetts, 2nd time for PP ever playing live with Keith. Also the NFA sandwich contained not only GDTRFB but Lovelight as well, super rare. 🐊🥀✌️
Pigpen and Godchaux on stage together is epic.. great show!
Fall 1971 probably the peak of this band.
1968- 1974.
To say it's debatable would be an understatement. Ever hear of a little rabbithole called 1972?
@@hubertsumlin9697 , my personal opinion is that the second half of 1971 is superior to 1972, generally speaking, there are exceptions of course, but in general I prefer 71. part of the reason for that is the gear they were using still has that old sound and by 72 they were already moving in the direction of an arena rock setup and sound, which, in my opinion was not favorable, not to the music of the Grateful Dead or music in general. but historically speaking that's how music moved out of the 60s and into the 70s. across the board the early 70s was the peak of rock music and no doubt 1972 was a fantastic year for the Grateful Dead.
@@ZionForman my favorite years are 69-74
72 76
OMG what an amazing version of Smokestack Lightning!!! Jerry & the Pig are on fire! 🤩🔥🔥🔥😊😊
I enjoyed it too, but are you kidding me, the Casey Jones blew my mind. Bobby wants to sing, but Jerrys like, I got this and improv soloed his ass off !
Great way to start my morning. Many thanks! Excellent job
Muchas gracias por maravilloso registro ❤😊
Thank You WOS, for giving us even more Pig! What a difference in the sound that only he could bring..
Had a tape of this show many years ago. Thanks WOS!
three nights after this one would be my first show in NYC at the Felt Forum life changed after that one
wow g.o.g.d. mellow, stoned, the epitome of what's needed in 2024! these are my favorite shows sine qua non. '71 is the quintessence...
bob weir couldn't play guitar but he was the world champ MC....his banter n words to the crowd are always spot on......
Great rhythm player
Bobby’s guitar was sublime and genuine
This PITB sounds awesome. Great tempo and sound
❤WoS this is gonna be an awesome time. This is an awesome show. Really looking forward to this one🍯⚡️
very interesting to see how some of the tunes eventually got legs and just ran!
❤☮️🕊️🌎
👋☕good morning,Rosebud🌹
@@craigsimon7658 Good afternoon 🌞 my friend craig!!! 💨⚡️💀❤️
Have a great Sunday !! Kind friend!!🌹🌹💙🍁💨💨💨
One of my first Dead bootlegs was an lp containing much of set 2. Thank god it found me at the Milforx CT flea market, about 1984.
Cannot wait to listen to full show, cheers and thanks for posting this!!
Forever Grateful ! Hey from Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl. USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
☮️💯Keith ❤️🔥Pig Pen😙💨💨That East Coast vibe ♨️🌈🥰🗿🧙🏻♂️
Love the background art to the video
I saw many bands at the music hall mid 70's, Bob Seeger 3 years in a row. Heart, molly hatchet, outlaws, had tickets for Skynyrd in 1977 but the plane crash unfortunately happened.
Thanks for posting this, and all the other shows and content. Again. 😂
Just Luvly. IWT. up in Balcony. what a friggin' blast.
Play Dead for life.
Black Peter just kills! 😊
The show peaks with a great NFA>Lovelight>GDTRFB>NFA with Pigpen and Bob trading vocal exclamations during the medley's climax. Check it out!
5 years prior to my 1st road trip in 76 to see them, i caught all four nights at the boston garden in 76 , hitchhiked there from ny metro area, ah sweet youth . wish it had been this tour instead for sure, but it is what it was , and this show here is a hot number
I hitched to Boston garden also from NH only as a teenager in the 90s and we both got it done years apart! I was born in 76 and yet we danced in beantown to the best band on the planet. GMFD!
Отличный коллаж, и фото Джерри с косичками люблю❤
I think he would be pissed off having his hair like that
This one is worth a couple listens. Thanks, Wall of Sound!
Rocking Railroad Blues and Saturday Night. That Casey Jones was interesting. Something about the mix is different. Must be the broadcast. I liked Phil real high in the first set. He was soloing on Sugaree! My whole family danced to BIODLTL while I cooked dinner. Way to close out the first set boys.
Man this guy know his stuff. Oh wait, that was me. LOL. Listened to this a few months back.
🤩
Love me some Gator
Right On ✌
Thank Graham Nash for gifting gator to Jer!
Yes sir!
One of my first tapes!
Thanks WoS!!!
Yea, gator coming 'round here again, guess there is sunshine 'hind those clouds. 💛Thx Wall🌞
No Donna Jean, no Micky! Woo hooo!!!!!!!
Wow,What an incredible Smokestack
My first live show!!!
That's cool man. Best background yet!
Thank you!
very nice.
the Smokestack Lighting here is smoking , Pigpen in all his glory. what a sound. kids today don't know what analog is.
Agree this was their sweet spot for about 4 years,but we all have our favorite era. I have seen about a dozen shows at this venue{Im from NYC} and this one ranks up there. If you remember 76 when they did the mail order and played this Music Hall.the shows were not nearly as good. So relish what you like but this show is definetly my kind of GOOD OLE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!!
Luv 71 and 72 as well
My favorite lineup. This era was jazzier and Billy alone made for sharper segues. Plus they still had authentic blues coming out of Ron.
Being an S.F. veteran, I have always felt that, around this time, their best shows were on tour away from the Bay Area...
seven new tunes .....
Concerts are so expensive and they got the TV screens
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Name that tune sounds like The Wheel.
A requiem for Mr. McKernan.
usuals, Smokestack Lightning, 1:42:52
You have the alligator back ground and the pic of Jerry with a alligator sticker on his guitar for a show 12-2-71? When in fact the alligator sticker didn't appear till after the Europe 72 tour. The Alligator sticker appeared in the late fall of 72. 👍
The choice was less about the Alligator sticker and more about the guitar, which was named Alligator, and was used in 70-73. BUT... there's no Alligator the SONG in this show, so there's also that :)
Wasn't this first Keith's time on scene? ❤
Pretty close. October 19 in Minneapolis
It's always refreshing to hear the real Good Ol' Grateful Dead instead of some lame, pale excuse of a cover band that's finally gone away and should never have been allowed to ruin a great band. I'm very glad I saw The Grateful Dead around this time. They had unsurpassed energy, drive, creativity and cohesiveness. You had to be there then. We have the tapes that prove it.
No one ruined anything because these are still available for anyone to listen to. Time moves on and nothing lasts forever. I don't know about you, but I much prefer the music continuing on rather than it having died with Jerry.
Phil really got 💩on in the intro , WTF?
Did someone yell freebird before mr charlie? Because that wiuld be fantastic karma
Don’t think so , this shows from 71. First official release of Freebird wasn’t until 73 . But hey ya never know. Stranger things have happened lol.
PEACE
@ronzo54 lol thanks for the clarification. I'm sure it didn't become a joke until much later on either.
Probably a song he wanted to hear
@@fordprefect7316 probably wanted to hear it pretty to lol
@fordprefect7316 No Freebird, but just before Not Fade Away, at 2:13:32, some girl (followed by a louder guy) shouts, “Paint It Black, you devil!” - which, of course, was an imitation of the girl who yells it before “Sympathy For The Devil” on the Stones’ “Get Yer Ya Yas Out”: ua-cam.com/video/tM5CuW6Wd7o/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared About 12 seconds later, another dude yells, “Judas!”, imitating the dingbat from Bob Dylan’s 5/17/66 show in Manchester.
@@FortyNineHudson killer love this thanks for posting
Is that the British manager introducing the band? He just passed away recently.
don't think its Sam Cutler, rather a dude who played a bunch of gigs with the jerry band
The name Nicky Hopkins popped into my head. Sam's accent was wat more Geordie iirc
Maybe a dj since this is a broadcast tape?
@@chsmt19 I'm pretty sure it's Nicky Hopkins.
@@dscotthoward7467😊
You are correct.
Great show- terrible intro by the boring gummy cheeked chap who forgot Phil
