Subject: Jerry on Mandolin Though I do not doubt that Nelson would be playing mandolin, since he was there with them, Dick Latvala's personal notes from this show state that Jerry was actually playing mandolin?!?!?!? I'm not sure I could believe that. I mean if Nelson was there what else would he be playing??? - August 4, 2015Jerry on Mandolin

Subject: -- Beautiful stuff - that El Paso is indeed lovely - probably the ideal way to play this old cantina ballad - with a mandolin!



Only caveat here is the vocals - they're often just miked/mixed too low. Too bad, because this is a jewel. Still definitely worth hearing. - August 5, 2013--

Subject: Great I too love the acoustic and only wished that Jerry and the boys liked it as much. I don't think Jerry's concept of expansion beyond limits applied to the acoustic guitar as much as it did to the electric guitar. But they were an amazing acoustic band as well.



I wish the vocals came through a little louder, but a beautiful performance. - June 24, 2013Great

Subject: Mando! I don't know who was on the mandolin on this great show, but they do a tremendous job. I love the acoustic dead, and their early acoustic Candyman's are my favorite versions of the song. And what a real treat this show is, playing old gospels, I really enjoy it and wish they'd of played them more often. I'm sure Jerry loved going back to these songs. Fire stars for this great gem. - May 1, 2010Mando!

~^|\_@|@_/|^~

~/\~





Acoustic GRATEFUL DEAD from the summer of 70'.



Doesn't sound like Mickey is playing, thank GOD.



This version is a little hissier than the other version, but it doesn't have the lame ass drum track in the right channel, which always sounded like some moron tried mix their playing along with the DEAD but didn't know how to play the drums. Which raises the question can you keep time on LSD?



Why does anyone need two drummers for acoustic GOSPEL music anyway?



Amazing sound from such a primitive time for "live recordings".



Here the GRATEFUL DEAD demonstrate their love for CHRISTIAN GOSPEL Music.



It probably would have offened most fans of the GRATEFUL DEAD if they released a GOSPEL album of their favorite CHRISTIAN GOSPEL TUNES...this live show is as close as we are going to get. Too bad many of the fans of the GRATEFUL DEAD despise Christianity. You'd think they'd have more sense.



Nothing like a bunch of sinners singing Gospel.



How often did Jerome sing and play the "Ballad of Casey Jones"?



I recommend using your EQ during playback of most of the shows on the IA, this one included.



Windows Media Player has a 10 band EQ and SRS WOW effects that enhance the sound.



Here's one way to stream/download this show:



The IA recommends users of Windows XP view this web-page with RealPlayer.



RealPlayer is a free media player you can download at



Using RealPlayer to view this webpage, click the VBR M3U link to open the songs in the Playlist.



If your Playlist is not open, open it by clicking the Playlist icon at the lower right hand corner of RealPlayer.



Once the songs are in the Playlist, double click the song to play it, then click the record button at the lower left hand corner of Realplayer to record it.



When the red line reaches the other end click the stop button to download the song. Your song is in the RealPlayer Downloads folder.



Repeat these steps for each song.



Or you could just record the audio to your computer, or to your cassette deck, or 8 track, or VHS, or DVD recorder by simply hooking up the audio cables...morons.



Thanks for the FREE MUSIC from 39 years ago, 1970

Subject: Christian Music The Grateful Dead & Jerry Garcia in particular have always interlaced Christian songs into their acoustic & electric sets. In fact scripture is one of the themes that Hunter touches upon most frequently. The best thing that ever came out of Christianity is the music. I dont think this fact was lost to any of these guys playing this music. This Born Again Pagan is not offended at all. I enjoyed this thoroughly - August 8, 2009Christian Music

Sound is a bit hissy, but it's an acoustic show for cryin' out loud - the sound isn't going to be perfect. Enjoy a gorgeous El Paso, a stunning Rosalie McFall, a rousing Cocaine blues, and a laid back Deep Elem! - April 23, 2007beautiful

Subject: Great Show, Less-than-ideal Sound This might be an excellent acoustic set, but the muddy mix and the high levels of hiss kinda detract from the listening experience. Vocals are hardly audible on some tracks. A cleaned-up, remixed sbd for this show would be a must-have, but this lineage is mainly for acoustic enthusiasts and fans of the mandolin (which is mixed too high, IMHO). This arrangement of El Paso is very cool, and worth the download. Note that Bobby had not yet figured out what the real lyrics are at the end of the song! UPDATE: OK, revising my rating up to 4 stars. This sounds much better if you boost the mid-range on the equalizer. Also, try shifting the balance to about 2/3 left channel to bring out the vocals and bring the mandolin (right channel) more in line with the other instruments.



Can someone clean this up a bit and re-post? - November 1, 2005Great Show, Less-than-ideal Sound

I was at this show and that is David Nelson playing the mandolin; he was fantastic! It WAS an AWESOME show, too. In later years, I really missed the accoustic shows of the early '70s. I'm just glad that we always had the 'Jerry Band' to hear in between Dead tours/shows.

Subject: Almost like going to church.... but better! If you like acoustic sets that GD did in 1970, this is EASILY one you should pick up if you haven't done so! The mix is a wee bit off, but the sound is of excellent quality. David Nelson on mandolin is beautiful bonus. He can be heard very well in the mix.. almost too well. ;)

The show is delivered with a laid back feel, almost like one can experience at a religion event. The crowd sounds very small, so must have been quite a treat for those lucky ones who were there.

Big note is there is a few songs that are ONLY HERE or very few other versions (Drink Up And Go Home, A Voice From On High, Ballad Of Casey Jones, etc.) making a GD collector drool.

All in all, if you seek rocking GD, this is not the show for you. But, if you want to relax and put another log on the fire, it doesn't get any finer.

Hats off to the legendary Jjoops for finding and preversing this rare for all of us to enjoy! - September 10, 2004Almost like going to church.... but better!
