Damn! Missed this show by a night. My first show was the night before, but I remember taping this beauty off the radio onto cassette via WNEW radio. This run would make a nice box set.

1971 was something of a big year in terms of transition.

Not unlike a baseball team who begins the year with the crew from year last, some fade to the DL, some get traded away and a few get traded in.

Around comes the fall and suddenly there's a new magic in the zen of the line-up and magic happens.

Talk about a dramatic difference in performance styling from February to April, August to October and then December.

For that matter 1971 was a very important year in the annals of The Grateful Dead.
