Actually, the rest of the band were trying to kick Pigpen and Bob Weir out of the band in late 68, the other four did numerous shows as “Mickey and the Hartbeats” in October. Phil’s friend Tom Constanten joined at the end of 68 and they decided they should record a live album with a new multitrack that had just been released so they could offset the costs of recording Anthem of the Sun…….and the rest is history!

Gotta be Mickey Hart with the wood-stick… it shows up on a lot of primal Dark Stars… including the great Dick’s Picks #4 (2/13-14/70, Fillmore East)…

Having brews on the porch just now, broadcasting “Hung Bunny” off the Melvins’ churning 1992 beast, Lysol: Two Pacificos down and it sounds just like the distortion-heavy “Feedback” at the end of this set, or at least until the vocals come in. YES.

Great show – thanks. The night after is equally as primal. Indeed 1968 was the primal year
