10/12/68 at Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Feb 22, 2022

Discussing the Grateful Dead's phenomenal show from October 12, 1968, at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. This show is from the "primal Dead" era, but played with a unique lineup: Jerry, Bob, Phil, Bill, and Mickey--no Pigpen, nobody on the keys. This episode includes a longer discussion about Dark Star, and, at the end of the episode, a conversation about how we view the Grateful Dead compared to how others might view them.
