For the Dead Heads on the board

:p For the Dead Heads on the board, or anyone who wants to hear some really good music to chill out with after getting nice and blazed.

Some of you may already know this, but for those that don't: back in 1968 the rest of the band voted Bob and Pigpen out of the band. Instead of simply playing as the Grateful Dead without them , however, they did a few shows billed as Mickey and the Hartbeats. After 3-4 shows Bob and Pig were back in the band and the Hartbeats were no more. The music played at those few shows was really great though. Not a lot of lyrics but some great jams built around what they were playing at the time (Dark Star, Other One, etc).

I had known about these shows but didn't now until recently that most were available on the Internet Archive. Last night I got really baked and put on the show from 10/30/68 and was totally blown away. I think this will definitely become my all time favorite to listen to while stoned. So, if your in to the Dead you owe it to yourself to smoke a bowl and give this a listen. here's a link to the show:

what program is used to view these files.

cool,, yhea,, how do i get it

^ you can use realplayer or windows media to play the files on the computer. On the left side of the webpage is a box titled The Show. Towards the bottom of the box is an option to stream the show. Just click Hi-Fi or Lo-Fi (depending on your connection) and it should start automatically.

Or, do what I do and download the entire show and burn a cd that you can play anywhere.

Thats good shit man :D

thanks fengzi!!!!

nice!

did you know that the dead were called the warlocks first b4 they became The Greatful Dead .Cool bit of info thx

Did you know Jerry played in several Jug Bands before the Warlocks. I have most of that stuff on my tape trading list. The Live Music AArchive site is totally awesome for the amount of high quality stuff they have, but they don't offer the offshoot Garcia Bands.

Here's my tape trading page and a link to another ftp dead site. As well as another favorite (setlist.com)
