Grateful Dead   02/19/1971

Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY
Recording SHNID 1029
Media SHN   3 discs
Notes sbd - first shows sans Mickey. Pretty tight. Best songs are: It Hurts Me Too, Dark Hollow, Smokestack (nice guitar lead) Easy Wind and Good Lovin. The remaining tunes are average for solid 71 shows. Vocals are off on Bertha for a large part of it. Summary - pleasant listen, but remove the above noted special tunes and you'd probably only listen to it once. The Good Lovin' I should add is jammed out musically and lacks the humorous Pigpen raps attempting to hook people up or whatever. Its a very good version. Overall, I'd give the nod to this date for my favorite of the 2/71 Capital run, though overall it was average 71.
