The November 1971 GRATEFUL DEAD is much different than the April 1971 GRATEFUL DEAD. The GRATEFUL DEAD started movin' on to the next page or maybe another book and you can hear it in this show. Not the most crisp recording, but it's in stereo and the mix is fine. The performance is tight and orchestrated, a timed show no doubt. The birth of the Stadium GRATEFUL DEAD. It's not bad, but no Alligator, No Lovelight, No Pigpen.

I just read an interesting interview in Tape Op Mag. with sound Guru Bob Heil (he invented the Talkbox..think Peter Frampton). Bob mentions that he got his big break when The Grateful Dead contacted him after Owsley was arrested (and all the gear confiscated) by the FBI. He provided the Dead with what was, at the time, the very, very best stage sound & gear that was available (Heil & Co had personally hand built all the equip.) Anyway, if you notice a giant sonic LEAP in the Grateful Dead's…

This was my first Grateful Dead show - Workingman's Dead and American Beauty had pulled me on board. Five of us crammed into a friend's tiny dorm room to "prepare" before walking over to Pauley. Bill Walton was a freshman at UCLA that year - I wonder if he was at this show?
