i've been listening to the GD since 1966 (though I stopped going to see them live around 1978 as they just didn't have that "same old thing" for me anymore). Nothing, BUT NOTHING, beats the Grateful Dead from 1966-1971. They did it all..pop, blues, psychedelia/space/acid rock, rock 'n roll, country, bluegrass..and they did it exceptionally well. They were at their best and most innovative during this period and because of this really established themselves as an iconic rock group.

Don’t peek at the setlist, just press play and enjoy. A lot of the fun comes from blindly rolling through the combination of what would become long-term staples and the ultra-rare tunes which only got a small handful of plays in the mid-1960’s. I got to watch Kreutzmann dish up a couple of these songs just this past weekend, and yet for a couple of others, 12/1/66 has the only live versions you can hear. It’s certainly quite a spread.

Welcome to another evening of confusion and high frequency stimulation. Again, not a great recording, and again, I still appreciate the person's time and effort in putting finding this and putting it on Archive. There's some rare stuff in this one... More treats. I could hear Big Boss Man every day for the rest of my life. Alice D. Millionaire... First time I've seen this show up. Cool song... Not one of my favorites, but not bad. Me And My Uncle false start...
