Entire show without Pigpen
archive thread: Guide To The Feelin' Groovy Jam
Black Peter and Candyman (30 Days of Dead 2019) and Dark Star (2023) shared on 30 Days of Dead.
A section of this tape was shared on The Tapers Section: 2025-01-27.
With the support of Warner Brothers, which had declared October 1971 "Grateful Dead Month" and was heavily promoting Skullfuck, most of these gigs were broadcast over FM. See Lost Live Dead, Grateful Dead Live FM Broadcasts 1971 (FM IV). This was Keith's first tour with the Dead, and Garcia's last with the New Riders.
