Hey Now! This week we will explore the first set from a great show that took place during a historic run at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester NY back on February 20, 1971. This was during the famous 'ESP' experiments, and it was also the second show without Mickey Hart who had left the band after the first show of this run.
This show contains a number of 'new' tunes (at the time) and you'll see that some have yet to be fully developed (Playin' in the Band for example). However the band is tight, Pigpen is on and it is really a fine set. I especially love the ending of this set with the Cryptical>Drums>Other One>Wharf Rat

Hey Professor are there drop outs in this tape especially during big boss man or are my headphone adapters acting wonky
ReplyDeleteI just went back and listened to the 'Big Boss Man' as published and had no dropouts at all.
ReplyDeletesorry about your adapters, but thanks for giving me a reason to hear Pig again.
