There are only 2 bands that can, with only 5 seconds of hearing, lift me from a dark depressed state and put a literal smile on my face. (The Dead and The Beach Boys). Thank you for this wonderful treat.
What a great compilation of songs from a favorite era. I can listen to this over and over again all day. Thank you for sharing this great labor of love with all of us!!!!
Great collection of 1970 gd.....my favorite period...lucky to see show Feb. 70 in NYC...not much compares for energy consistancy...thank you for your efforts in finding such a great playlist assortment....H.
you're welcome - lucky is right - catching the Dead in the New York scene they loved so much in 1970 is as good as it gets. 1970 is my favorite overall as well, edging out the eras just before and after
First show was April 1970. Went to work for 'em until November. I was at if not all, then most of these. Still my touchstone for what a Dead show means.
I just wanted to say thank you for posting these shows. I thought I have heard almost all of the live dead shows from this era and here you are gifting stuff that I have never heard. It feels like Christmas all over again! Can you tell me what shows these are from? The quality and mixes are amazing. Thank you again!
I'm glad you enjoyed the work. There's a link in the description to a folder that includes downloadable versions of my mixes and info files that include all of the source information.
Damn, you realize how good these guys are. Only ever saw them at Winterland, Greek and Oakland indoor Colosseum. Best shows were East Coast, no question..
Close your eyes, you’re at the Fillmore East, the Dead are abt to come on.The orange acid is Mind bending,your gf is holding onto for dear life tripping her brains out.off to the side you see Pigpen,he’s drinking a bottle of scotch. Weir and Jerry are laughing as they tune their guitars, Lesh is talking to Bill and god only knows where Mickey is. Suddenly, the music begins, you can’t stop moving to it, as if you’re swept away. It’s now 2am and you rush out to a cold and damp nyc. All is well with the world as you and your gf decide to head to China town for wo hop. The music still in your head as you look at each other and start making out. This was the Dead at its finest.
I may have sampled the Orange Sunshine or did I save Monterey Purple, Blue Cheer, White Lightning, liquid, drops, STP with some barbiturates to take edge off? I guess I can imagine doses from 20 years down the line since I wasn't at these though I think I "downloaded" the memories of others in days long before there was Windows 95, just Window Pane. Pigpen hadn't even been gone a decade when I started to listen but I hadn't gotten on that bus yet either. 😅
You're listening to a band about to realize their drummers father is stealing their money.....the death of their psychedelic innocence in the group and the start of significant personal moves mickey/keith/Pig
For me the appeal of this era of the GD is that Jerry is really playing some serious psychedelic blues. Lot's of minor blues feels. No happy noodling, no envelope filters, (which have their place) but can overused, & mindless at times. This is a Great collection from a Great GD era!!!
I walked, more like floated, the couple of miles from 95th street and Shore Road in Bay Ridge, to the corner of 46th street and New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst. My destination was an old movie theater transformed into a venue for 60s rock bands, called Bananafish Gardens, after the J.D. Salinger story. It was November 11, 1970. I just turned 18 and it was shaping up to be another tumultuous year. It was Alison Steele, The Nightbird of WNEW, New York’s progressive rock station, that set me on this journey. In her breathy sexy voice that elicited untold fantasies from high school boys throughout New York, she implored the faithful to descend on the 46th street rock palace, as it was also known, to see the Grateful Dead. All I knew of the Dead was that they were from San Francisco, where I wanted to be, and that psychedelics flowed freely at their concerts. That was enough.
I had a problem. I only had $2.50. The ticket was $3.75. I pleaded my case at the ticket booth. I’m a little short, I said. The guy, thin, long hair uncombed, in a tie dye t shirt said, “It’s free. Go on.” “What do you mean?” “No tickets,” the guy said. “Everybody gets in free. Peace.” He gave the peace sign. I returned the salute. The theater was trippy. At its inauguration, October 9, 1927, according to the Brooklyn Eagle, 25,000 people came to what was then called the Universal Theatre, the first “atmospheric” theater in New York City. It was designed to look like a night sky in an Italian garden. The illusion was ameliorated with a projection of clouds across the ceiling. That phantasmagoric feature was long gone, the ornate frescoes were worn, the carpet was frayed, and a bunch of New York mostly teenage hippies were running around in gleeful abandon. About 300 people were in this Dead concert, free, a fraction of what the 2,675 seat theater could hold. People were dancing everywhere. Plenty of space to revolve in your own orbit and melt with another orbit and join the whole. It felt more like a party than a concert. As soon as I walked in I knew I’d been anointed.
Yeah, I was at the last two Dead shows there. It really was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere there. I remember it being the first time I heard that Not Fade Away- Going Down the Road combination. Unlike the Fillmore East (I know they did feel some pressure), ushers were smoking pot with the audience.
I went 2 days later on Friday the 13th....it was so Brooklyn...while waiting to get in hanging out in front a chevy impala pulls up with a red white & blue good ole grateful dead sticker on the back window...out gets weir and 2 buddies they open the trunk and he takes out 2 guitars and a guy standing there yells out...'hey bobby stick with me and i'll get you in tonite'.....and the new riders brought country music to us Brooklyn kids....a life altering evening fer sure....
Love trade-n tapes nothing like an audience tapers Grateful Dead show to listen to, with all the ambient noise z as and imperfections there’s something missing when it’s directly soundboard. Also like some of this stuff is supposed to flow directly from one to another and this new fangled digital file cd crap don’t allow for that. Anyway if you still have your tapes everyone keep them in best condition as possible. Pull rm out and listen to em . It’s been about 15 years since I’ve listen to mine.
Bob pretty much always got the first lead on Easy Wind including on the album version. An Allman Brothers approach. He had a similar tone to Garcia this year which makes it pretty interesting
I particularity love the sound of the Dead from this era when thanks to my best friends became a Dead head. Pig Pen, think Live Dead album, Amercan Beauty, Working Man's Dead album 60's just ended. Newly formulated songs that became Europe 72 and standards. Audio is very good, some amazing gorgeous sonic beauty all the instruments, bass, drums, rhythm and lead guitar, Garcia playing Gibson SG sometimes, bold pure sounds, great compilation! Thanks
OMG, where is that Black Peter track from?? It's the best version I've ever heard! This mix is amazing. Thank you. But... Sauce please please!! We need source dates!! (~)};-)

Always been a big fan of the ‘71 quintet. But Lesh’s bass playing and tone are at least as good here!
Do you know where America is mentioned in the Bible ??????? Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!!
Cold rain and snow brought me back to week long tickets at the Fillmore they love playing NYC around Halloween
When, for me, they were all the music I needed.
Sometimes they still are for me but I enjoy much more. The only band that played what I NEEDED to hear as opposed to what I wanted.
Loving it! Thx for your labor of love putting it all together, & posting!!!

O yeah the good ol days.

Orange pane and smoking Turkish hash so fresh the smell would get you high.
Bass is so thick and sweet
Exceptional

It hurts me too es encantadora, viva Pigpen Carajo, saludos desde Argentina, sin lugar a dudas la mejor época de Grateful Dead 😉✌🌹💀🌹✌🙌🎤🎸🎶🎸🎤🙌👌👏👏👏
Fantastic
"It's hard to make decisions."~°°°~ Jerry Garcia, B4 Hard 2 Handle~°°°
Uncle John's Band is outstanding.
Wow, I remember that China-Rider on a bootleg vinyl back then in '70 or '71.
yep that show was widely bootlegged on vinyl! good ear
~47:00 Weir is doing his part too!
The photo at 19 minutes hurts my ears! Jerry standing right in front of that stack of twin reverbs..
China Cat sunflower ...man what a GREAT American Band....
WOW listen to Phil's bass workout on Know You Rider
WOW!!!
Great photos, too! Jerry's mug shot 50:07 He doesn't look very concerned...probably figures it's a one-verse detention.
A Good Lovin’ for the ages!
Easy Wind 😉👌🍷✌💀🌹💀✌🙌🎤🎶💖🎶🎤🙌💪
Jerry is hard to handle. That's why Pig picks up the other end.
Sometimes..some platform. play as little childs...life is strange, sometimes...
Finding this was the best part of the American Shutdown of 2020
Easy Wind will take you higher.. ...
Stratospheric.,
Sound😁
Wow, but Pigpen sounds good!
Yummy Dead!!!!
You're listening to a band about to realize their drummers father is stealing their money.....the death of their psychedelic innocence in the group and the start of significant personal moves mickey/keith/Pig

Primo.....
Sweet China-Rider... The jam out of Not Fade Away is beautiful
Audio is excellent for this era of soundboards! Thumbs UP aplenty!
For me the appeal of this era of the GD is that Jerry is really playing some serious psychedelic blues. Lot's of minor blues feels.
No happy noodling, no envelope filters, (which have their place) but can overused, & mindless at times.
This is a Great collection from a Great GD era!!!
Pure Dead...🕺🙏😎

If so; a very nice one indeed!
Bob pretty much always got the first lead on Easy Wind including on the album version. An Allman Brothers approach. He had a similar tone to Garcia this year which makes it pretty interesting
Some unbelievable pics!

We need source dates!!

@Terrapin -- there's lots more info on sourcing in the attached google drive document (drive.google.com/file/d/18ewWWqoUIEUk9n_gaPNzD7aakq7qWpuS/view), I believe the Black Peter specifically was from 12/26/70 at the Legion Hall in El Monte
Ah! Thanks a bunch! Can't wait to hear the full set :)
@Terrapin -- at the very least, the Black Peter is 100% from the Miller SBD from 12/26 (archive.org/details/gd70-12-26.sbd.miller.22369.sbeok.shnf/gd70-12-26d1t12.shn ). The intro / tape fade is very distinctive.
@@arghdos Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I had a typo on the date when I went and looked for it before. Found it now. Thanks :)
