Notes

gratefulseconds: Coast to Coast FM Broadcasts 1971: LA and Boston

FM broadcast WBCN-Boston

Giuliano 1971 describes going with the Columbia Records guy (New Riders' label) to pick everyone up at Logan at 11 pm. Probably night before first show. Garcia sounds grouchy.

Historical

The Soviet Mars 3 lander reaches the surface of Mars, transmits for a few seconds and then goes silent. It is the first spacecraft to reach the planet.
