Comment Comments: (from Dead List Reader)
This is Crosby, Garcia, Lesh & Hart, sometimes known as
David And The Dorks. 12/17/70 is of the band in performance;
it may be a complete set. 12/15/70 is part of a soundcheck or
rehearsal, almost certainly a tape run by the band for work
purposes (as we know was Jerry's practice); reportedly there
is a 49 minute version of this rehearsal tape also in circulation,
but unexamined at this writing. DeadBase IX lists gigs by these
musicians at the Matrix on December 15, 16 & 17, billed as
"Jerry Garcia & Friends."

Comment This is the afternoon rehearsal for the evening show that is already available on FuthurNet. I got this in 1973 from the master reel. The box did not give a date, just a month and year. There are actually 2 dates going around for the show (12/20/70 & 12/15/70). I'm using the 12/20 date since that seems to be the more accepted date. I played a few cuts from this on David Gans' Dead Head Hour, but here is the whole rehearsal intact.

Note: This recording contains the only version of 8 Miles High, since they didn't play it during the evening show. Also, the box did not list the drummer, and I have assumed it to be Bill Kreutzmann all these years just because of the playing style.
