My alltime favorite piece on the Dead. Its in an old paperback I've had for 25 years of collected RS articles. Doesn't get better than this.

Never seen that before--thanks. I'm only two pages in, but...

The People's Park debacle referred to in the lead:

The disastrous Winterland show (not available in any source, according to db.etree):

The Robertson Gym show (supposedly):

EDIT: Also, that Winterland show was the very next show after the celebrated Seminole Indian Reservation shows.
