--This set (minus NFA) has often circulated as the 6-24-70 early show, or the 6-25-70 late show. This is now strongly believed to be from the July Fillmore East run, and 7-10 is the most likely date. A recently circulating excerpt from Weinberg's reels supplies the NFA. This version matches no other from the year, and is clearly stated to be the encore from the Fillmore East. It is possible that it could be from 7-9.

Subject: This is not 7/10/70 I was at 7/10/70. Dead at Midnight !

The electric set opened with Morning Dew.

They also played Dark Star into St Stephen into NFA into Lovelight.

Mickey had some snare problems that stopped them at some point.

Amazing show.

Would love to hear it again some day. - May 15, 2019This is not 7/10/70

Subject: 6/24. 6/25, 7/9 or 7/10? I'm with Brontis on this. The sound is very closely matched to Weinberg and Leigh's 6/24 recordings. But since Weinberg is getting credit for this it could be Fillmore July 70 run. If it is Port Chester, then there would have been 3 performances of Attics on 6/24, or maybe there is a 6/25? The Other One listed for 6/24 early on other versions is different than this version, Either way, it's great that both exist. Now, where is that 7/9/70 so called Dark Star. There had to be one on the run. The never ending search for the Holy Grail. - June 24, 20186/24. 6/25, 7/9 or 7/10?

Subject: Nothing wrong with this show Full disclosure - 1970 is probably my FAVORITE year for the Dead. Unfortunately, Bear was in jail, and very few soundboards were recorded. I love the AUDs that survive from this year. Is this show as good a recording as a mid-80s show? No, of course not. Is it awesome? Oh, yeah. - July 3, 2012Nothing wrong with this show

Subject: This show smokes Yes there is some clapping close to the mic but the music comes through quite well, and there is low end. This is a band at the top of its game on this run and all of these mid-July Fillmore East recordings should be given a fair chance. Franklin's Towel -- December 16, 2011This show smokes

Subject: lovelight the author of the dead book skeleton key claims his first show was 1970-07-10 and the closer song was lovelight meaning either its missing or this show is from 1970-07-09 (very possible indicated by notes) - May 6, 2010lovelight

Subject: typical sound for 1970 and raw, bordering on sloppy, playing make for a thoroughly delightful trip down memory lane for east coast heads. I'm thankful that guys like Marty had the foresight to tape so that we can bitch about how much better we wish this sounded!!! Regardless of which night on the tour this was, it is representative of the sound of the boys at the time - rough, raw, powerful, filled with missteps and wondrous moments. Thanks to all responsible for the site and the music. Peace - August 12, 2009typical sound for 1970

Reviewer: Brontis - - October 11, 2007

Subject: Great set; poor sound quality I don't know if the Not Fade Away belongs or not, but I am still inclined to believe that this is the early show from Port Chester 6-24-70.

My first copy of this years ago was on casette labeled 6-25-70.

Then, later, Dead Base labeled it as the early show from 6-24-70.

I don't know if there were two sets on 6-25 or two successive nights, but I *hear* this set as kindred to the established and accepted Port Chester 6-24-70 'late' show.

The Attics are *very* similar-- and the playing at both sets is, well, outstanding.

And one more piece of circumstantial 'evidence': shows at Port Chester in 1970 (Nov.) were INTENSE.



Highlights: Awesome Cold Rain and Snow; Alligator->Other One is INCENDIARY. Very short... but I can visualize the top of the theater being blown off...



And, the Attics. One of my very favorite Dead lullabys, and this the best performance of it I have ever heard.



The Not Fade Away is also outstanding. One of their better jams during this period. I also suspect it is from another show.



WIsh boards were available... - October 11, 2007Great set; poor sound quality
