Our first selection is from 8/4/71 at Terminal Island Correction Facility, when the Dead went to prison to visit their friend Bear and brought their instruments and a PA and put on a show.

Next is the start of the second set from 8/8/82, the second night of a two night run at Alpine Valley, where we have Far From Me, Scarlet Begonias>Fire On The Mountain. This was the Dead’s first multi night run at Alpine.Lastly this week is the excellent start of the second set from opening night at Cal Expo in Sacramento, CA on 8/4/89, where we have Truckin'> Wang Dang Doodle> Crazy Fingers> Cumberland Blues> Eyes Of The World.
Be sure to stop by next week for more music from the vault.
