Week of April 4, 2022 Part 1 25:25 Grateful Dead 1/26/68 Eagles Auditorium Seattle WA DARK STAR-> CHINA CAT SUNFLOWER-> THE ELEVEN Bob Weir, Ace (Rhino) LOOKS LIKE RAIN Part 2 30:14 Grateful Dead, Listen to the River: St Louis ’71 ’72 ’73 (Rhino) DARK STAR (10/30/73) This 1/26/68 recording was mislabeled as 1/22 in the vault! Dick Latvala and I transferred the tape in the early ’90s and I played some of it on the air back then. In recent years, the scholars figured out the correct date.
