This Week In Grateful Dead History #8 (Week of 2/24)

For the week of 2/24 – 3/2 we’ve got some notable events to cover. Jerry busts out Rosebud for the first time, his brand-new MIDI-enabled guitar. We also get the first performances of some classic songs: Terrapin Station and Estimated Prophet, and the final performance of Mason’s Children. Lastly, the boys make rock and roll history by being the first band to ever make a 16-track live recording. I’ve got detailed listening guides for 12 incredible shows to cover all that and more:2/24/1968 King'

@mrcompletely it IS William LaFortune’s (the Tulsa Mayor) tape! I was hoping that would be the case. I love how this came together ❤️

@mrcompletely no way! I was just getting ready to write about that show in my upcoming blog for the week in GD history. Will have to check that tape out!

@godpod I read this as “lot felons” as in someone who got busted at the parking lot of a Phish or other jam band in which case I wholeheartedly agree with your statement

@mrcompletely my cousin knows that guy. He did sound for some bands at those venues during that time period.

We have taken a crack at cataloging common "Spurious Dates". These dates turned out to just be mislabeled tapes or other errors.

Full disclosure, this is primarily created so I do not have to keep asking @FateMusic "hey, should we add this show!?"

Not meant to be completely exhaustive, but I like to have all the common ones on here.

Additions and corrections welcome.
