4/10/71: mayser center, franklin & marshall college, lancaster, PA. w/the new riders of the purple sage.

a few days after the 3-day dance marathon at the manhattan center in nyc, the dead and the nrps played a fine gig in pennsylvania dutch country. the show took place on the night before easter and a student, dressed as the easter bunny, hopped around onstage delivering candy to the band as a ploy to get a good seat-typical grateful dead show shenanigans. the riders and the dead played for about 4 hours, making the $4.50 student admission price a damn good bargain. of note, the good lovin’ is very hot. recorded by bob mathews, the sound-like the band this evening-is very crisp.
