SPECIAL NOTE: the first six tunes of the show were the ones on the demo tape made 11/3/65 at Golden Gate Studios under the name The Emergency Crew, after the band gave up the Warlocks name but before they became The Grateful Dead. This was made for the industry rather than direct public distribution. All the individual tunes have been made public in the years after the band disbanded under the Grateful Dead name in December ’95. The rest of the show featured tunes played in 1966.
