musings about the dead and their music. the shows always speak for themselves, but i'll add comments on their contexts, sonic quality, and other points of interest. something like that.

7/16/70: euphoria ballroom, san rafael, CA.
this impromptu show-two nights after the scheduled performance with nrps-is significant for two reasons: it was the final time the dead would share a stage with janis joplin, and it served as bear's pre-prison farewell following a bust the day before with housemates bob matthews & betty cantor. the partial set comes to us from ken babbs' son, simon, who uploaded it from jerry's personal stash of tapes. the version of attics of my life is astounding.
