10/4/70 was the night that Janis Joplin died. As the story goes, the Dead didn’t find out about her passing until they came off the stage. One of only a couple of versions of Till the Morning Comes, a great American Beauty song that came and went all too quickly. 1970 is, IMHO, the peak year of the Grateful Dead. Electric, acoustic, Pigpen still healthy, tons of different songs played as the band transitioned from pure psychedelia to the more song-oriented shows they would play from 1971 on.
I need to listen to more 1970 shows. I do find it to be an interesting transitional period for them, but there is something harsh about their sound during this period that I’ve never really loved. But I’ve not listened to too many shows from 1970 (I tend to gravitate to shows from 1972-1977).
