This was a good one. Remember this night at The Fillmore West well.

Garcia played guitar w/ Rowen Brothers.

Then pedel steel w/ New Riders

Then back on guitar w/ The Dead.

He rocked all night long.

My 1st Dead show was in Boston, 1971 with the Wall of Sound. NRPS started it off a 6:00 - dressed in glitter suits...the Dead closed in out at 2:00AM - a show to remember. 4 nights later, I saw the New Riders at Clark University in Worcester, MA - maybe 4-500 people. The Dead came out and jammed with them...Garcia played steel pedal that night. Those were the days...

The New Riders of the Purple Sage with Special Guest Donna Jean Godchaux will be playing Island in the Mountains Fest on Blannahassett Island in Marshall , NC on 08-01-2011.

Google Island in the Mountains Fest and come join us on the island.

Jerry warming up and rehearsing for few minutes is so much more worth my time than a hundred other musicians playing their best riffs...and those hundred other guys are good musicians... Jerry is from another dimension.....he could probably play tin whistle and make it sound divine...

@IExpo I remember them at The Poppycock upstairs. Santana and others there too. Was a cool place back in old PA days

[6749er]

We used to go Pre-New Riders to see Dawson who was trying out his songs with Nelson & Garcia who was just getting into the peddle steel in a real small place in Menlo Park called The Underground just down the El Camino from where Magoo's Pizza was where The Warlocks played their first gig before changing their name to Grateful Dead. They played The Underground on Weds, nights. Be maybe 40 people & Garcia could be himself with out people freaking out over Jerry!! like they did latter. Was fun!

Acid rock is the king of all rock. Long live the dead and all their friends.

@6749er It being Halloween 2010, I remember seeing Jerry at school this weekend (they did 4 shows) with Jerry on pedal steel with the Riders.

Early show on 10/30, I had 3rd row and right in front of Garcia on the ps. It's still as clear as day 40 years hence
