The New Brothers were playing at the Questing Beast this weekend, and the Dead were never known to rehearse there; this date is just a false tape label. The Dead were already in Los Angeles in any case. The Viola Lee Blues rehearsal must have been done days earlier (Phil mentions on
the tape that they’re going to LA to play on “Saturday night,” which must be the 5th). We are not sure where this tape comes from, probably January.
