From Deadlists:
Pigpen plays harp on Dupree’s. The Avalon Ballroom insisted that bands,
including the Dead, play short sets of an hour or less.
This may well be the complete first set.

Notes:
-The length of all these sets supports the short set restriction by the Avalon.
-Lovelight fades in.

  1. It’s amazing they stopped playing New Potato Caboose , this version is no slouch, another psychedelic tune i wished they continued to play. Great job here! give it a whirl.
