On this date in '69, the boys played the first Black Peter - which was stunning - and the inaugural Uncle John's. The Dead also sent out a positively beatific Dark Star and an acidy China Cat, brimming over with TC's organ and leading into a folky yet psychedelic Rider. Of course, Pig also gets down and dirty on Schoolgirl and Good Lovin'. Give it all a listen at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Happy birthday to Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. Him and his bandmates joined the Dead on stage back in 1971. In honor of Dennis, listen to that show and read more about the Beach Boys and the Dead.
