From Grateful Dead of the Day
This Valentine's 1968 show is the joyous, bacchanalian embodiment of raw, unreserved psychedelic energy, the mainline of straight up primal Dead. Dedicating the show to Neal Cassady, who had passed away ten days prior, the boys did the Merry Prankster extraordinaire proud, creating a seismic kaleidoscope of acid-drenched loveliness. Listen to it all at Grateful Dead of the Day.
There is nothing to see here except the Grateful Dead at their ordinary 1969 best, a splendid show served up with the standard helpings of Dark Star, Stephen, and The Other One. Cue this one up over at Grateful Dead of the Day and enjoy it with your valentine!
Anytime you get a chance to watch the Grateful Dead in 1970, you should take it. And this remastered forty-minutes of magic, including a Dark Star and Pig on Hard to Handle, has been lovingly restored. Enjoy the magic with your special someone or all by your lonesome at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Happy Birthday to Michael Doucet, one of the founders of the Grammy-winning Cajun band, BeauSoleil! Michael's band joined the Dead on stage on Fat Tuesday back in 1990. Read more about BeauSoleil and their time with the Grateful Dead.
