Recollections from on dead.net entry chsid : "I also remember that between sets there was a mime/music improv that involved a mime (I do not know who he was) with Jerry, Mickey and TC doing improv music behind him. It was different, strange and weirdly engaging."
reviews: [negative] Grossman 1969 | Pecy 1969
expost: Charles Giuliano wrote a piece for something called the Broadside/Free Press centering somewhat on Joe McCord's mime act, and describing the Dead's performance without any song specificity. It's a good piece that captures some backstage color. Pigpen: "Karlheinz Stockhausen says that in music there is only invention or boredom." Garcia is invoking literature, French avant-garde film and Nietszche's philosophical godfather, Schopenhauer.
