Listen to "Easy Wind" from Three From The Vault

Finally, the long lost final chapter in the Grateful Dead's legendary From The Vault series has arrived. THREE FROM THE VAULT features more than 2 hours of previously unreleased Grateful Dead music from a fondly remembered 1971 Port Chester show. THREE FROM THE VAULT contains 2 CDs of pristine HDCD sound mastered from the original multi-track tapes. The deluxe packaging includes vintage photos and insightful liner notes by Glenn Lambert.

Representing the pinnacle of the band's renowned archive of 2,400 live show recordings, the groundbreaking From The Vault series' rare multi-track recordings thrilled hardcore fans and novices alike before stalling in 1992 after only two volumes. That the Dead would wait another 15 years before putting out the series' third installment should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the band's longstanding policy of gleefully monkey-wrenching the space-time-continuum whenever and wherever possible.

Easy at Porchester

Great version.
As a lot of you probably do, I have all the shows from this run. They're all great. I kind of lean towards the 18th due to the first playing of a bunch of classics (Bertha, JBGoode, Wharf Rat) but there's nothing bad with this one. I wish my memory was better because I saw the Dead here a couple of times. I know one of them was with both Mickey and Bill. And if my memory is correct, isn't this the first show with only Bill (until '75 or so).
I love these shows even though there isn't as much jamming as there was a year or 2 before and a year later. But the songs are tight and the sound was great. (now if they could only dig up some soundboards from the 11/70 Portchester run).

I remember at one of the Portchester shows being out in the parking lot milling around with the folks I went with trying to get it together enough to go home when Pigpen came bursting out of the rear Stage door with two babes and a bottle of Jack. We gave him a cheer and got a wave from him. Pretty heady stuff for a highschool kid.
Man, I miss those days.

the sound.......

I love the ol' Pigpen grooves.
I wonder if this release will have the heavy paper stock flip and fold packaging, like V I and V II?

Happy summer solstice (tomorrow) everyone.

Saw a Summer Solstice show at Deer Creek in 93.

Long Live The Capitol Theatre

Its great to hear Pigpen on Easy Wind at the Capitol Theatre in Portchester, NY.

I loved that rock music hall. As redskibums said, the November 1970 shows were awesome.

I recall vividly being in the balcony just before Santana came on for the late show, they were playing Workingmans Dead on the sound system and this big hooting and hollering began. I got the sense that night who The Grateful Dead were live. I ran right down to the box office and bought two 7th row seats for the 11/7/70 early show. NRPS opened with Jerry on pedal steel guitar. Then the Grateful Dead played for us and I caught that energy that stays with you 37+ years. They were so good. We were given tixs by a friend for the late show for free and finally left them still playing at 1:30am as our parents were expecting us home in those days (we were 18 and 16 respectively ~g~)

I will certainly buy this CD.

The Capitol Theatre had so many great concerts.

Peace,
Edje
