1970/10/04 Winterland, San Francisco

There is no Grateful Dead music in this recording, but it seemed best to label it as a companion to the Dead's show.
This is the radio broadcast of the set-break between the Dead's and Airplane's sets. The show was a quadraphonic broadcast (two radio stations and KQED-TV), and an unknown taper captured the intermission after the Dead's show in this recording.
In the KSAN broadcast, KSAN DJ Dusty Street wanders around interviewing various people backstage at Winterland about the show, including Marmaduke and Pigpen. There's some talk about the recording and broadcasting, and the experience at Winterland. Dusty finds out midway that Janis Joplin has just died.
In one channel (at lower volume) is the simultaneous KQED broadcast - you can hear some talking onstage and part of Pink Floyd's Saucerful of Secrets album.
This copy is incomplete, it fades at the end as the Airplane are getting ready to go on. I don't know whether the other set-breaks or music sets taped from this source still survive, but hopefully a more complete tape will emerge.

Lineage unknown.
Thanks to Barry Smith.
