  • deadsources: May 18, 1968: Santa Clara Fairgrounds Sandy Darlington, from the San Francisco Express-Times, 23 May 1968 "Next came the Grateful Dead. Tom Donahue announced that their new album is out this week and suggested that the Dead might play some numbers from it during their set. Jerry Garcia smiled benignly to himself. He said they'd do 'Alligator' and they did, for about forty minutes. That was their set and it blew the place wide open."
