For a brief period in 1968 Bob Weir and Pigpen was fired from the Grateful Dead. The rest of the band played a few shows redubbed Mickey and the Hartbeats. I never know whether to file those shows under The Grateful Dead or something else. Here I’ve filed them under Jerry Garcia. Which is why I’m posting them on Tuesday.

Everything here has been previously posted, but several of them have new sources. Enjoy.
