    Very good quality for an audience tape of the time. There's alot of energy and you can feel it. Also, THIS IS HISTORY, MAN. The Dead were only around for 5 years at that time. You owe it to yourself to give this show a shot. I give it 5 stars that this show even survived for us to hear now. Thanks Jonathan and Archive!

    This recording is pretty much as advertised. It’s one of those rock-heavy 1970 shows with the springy, freewheeling rush that could see them bursting into a Drums segment at any moment. Evidently, this was a pretty cool scene. Garcia on the reefer, band members mingling with attendees, Wavy Gravy calling the shots, a couple of other bands on the bill, all contributing to a good-natured hometown show benefiting a local tribe.
