Got the summertime blues? Go on a long, strange tour with me through time. Every day in the month of July, we’ll feature a vintage recording from the Dead. Tune in on YouTube and join the chat as we explore the wonders of summer tours past. We will get by, we will survive!

The We Will Get By Streaming Tour continues onto summer 1970 in San Rafael, CA. This long strange trip has lead us to the Euphoria Ballroom for rare acoustic/electric Dead show.

The Dead opened up with “Don’t Ease Me In” which isn’t captured by the soundboard and has an audio patch. Once you get past the opening the tune, you’ll find the sound to be superb for a 1970 board.

The acoustic set is excellent as not many Dead acoustic sets exist. The “Dark Hollow” is worth the price of admission alone.

The electric set has some interesting tracks as well like a funky “China Cat.” Unfortunately the electric set is plagued by recording issues and we have regrettable cuts in “Easy Wind” and “Good Lovin'” which means less Pig Pen.
