I followed the link to the taper section , sounds like same as this source. Not crystal clear as the next month of shows with the Betty boards but still
...
good enough. I suggest anyone who loves these guys as much as I do and there are many of you who do. Copy the link and open it to listen to the Good Lovin portion of this crazy Pig Pen night.
I can only imagine what they would of turned into if Pig lived as long as jerry did. I mean it would of been insane fun touring.
Show and sound get 4 stars from me because I do not want to be part of changing the rating, also it is a very hot show.

and what a juicy discovery !
a legendary show, though previously lost in the mists of our minds.
this is a gorgeous listen, as the boys are locked into ... a righteous groove.
-0.25 for occasionally over-saturated vocal mikes still makes this a 5 star. or better.

If the review by gdesilet for June 2004 is accurate then this was just the tip of the iceberg for the evening?
(Good Lovin > Uncle John's Band
that ... LIGHT INTO ASHES mentions
is that all the rest of what is missing?)
GRATEFUL for what's here!
Lovelight > N.F.A > G.D.T.R.F.B> Lovelight
> Drums > Good Lovin'
When they are hitting their stride as a band these transitions seem almost effortless.

Subject: doug the dude -'remaster'
These are NOT multitrack tapes that can truly be 'remastered.' when Charlie Miller etc al. 'remasters' a 2 track ie stereo tape he generally removes the
...
analog anomolies, the 'clicks & pops, hiss etc and of course attempts to get the best original source tape possible ie least analog generations. he also generally restores any edited banter etc but has few to no options with regard to a bad original mix such as hot vocals, too little organ as is prevalent in almost all 2 track tapes from 70/71. For example listen to the multi-track recordings from 4/71 at the F east where pigpens organ is audible and he is playing on almost every song compared to as I said the vast majority of 70/71 tapes where is is usually barely audible/inaudible. A so-called 'remaster' of a 2 track tape cannot fix the lack of organ or too much vocals or lack of drums etc

Subject: the missing last reel
The last reel of 1/24/71 has been included on the Tapers Section:
http://www.dead.net/features/tapers-section/december-31-2012-january-06-2013
Apparently ... it didn't come into circulation because of sonic problems - it was said to be "unlistenable" - but actually it's just a bit fluttery, not bad at all.
Good Lovin' is 20 minutes, and Phil segues into Uncle John's Band to conclude the show.
Actually they sound spent by that point, with not that much improv going on during the long Good Lovin'; Pigpen does a rambling rap, & Phil takes charge, but Garcia's getting sloppy, so it's a rather brutish version.

4 stars because the sound is a little distorted, but man oh man this is a Pigfest. The From the start of Lovelight trough the end of the tape (and presumably
...
early into the morning, no tapes rolling), this thing just scorches. Some special energy here.
I believe this is the last live drum duet done by Mickey and Billy until 10/20/74. I don't normally pay much attention to a drum interlude, but this one is worth your ear time.
Anyway ... Pigpen!

An individual in one of the above posts states

Mr Kreutzmann. ... He did not leave the band for another month plus his signature cowbell rings along most of the tunes. He's there. This 'drummer' who wrote the post should take another listen. Plus this version is Mono. When the mix is mono both drummers sound like one big

Maybe it's cause '71 was the year of my first experience that I'm biased about it. But for me this is essentially the sound of the baby's first words.

Listening to these recordings, I feel like the older sibling imploring the baby "Remind me about heaven, I'm starting to forget" ...God, I love this!!!

how did i miss this show; i've been listening to the shows 'this date in history' or whatever they're called and somehow missed this one til today. wow.
...
right now i am listening to gdtrfb for the second time because it kicks(along with e'thing) but listen to the beginning and there is definitely a jam worth listening to a the beginning; it sounds like an eyes tease, before there was an eyes of the world, nice. Pig rocks. God he just rocks. They all are rockin. Vocals are high but thats ok cause when they come out of a jam it just hits like a ton of bricks; very cool. Seattle. i lived there for several years and it was a very cool place. too bad kurt cobain never went to a dead show or his music might have been a lot better. thanks who so ever put this here!

Best way to verify authenticity on concert dates and locations is to thumb through the Sunday paper in the city (Seattle) for that time period (1/24/71)and
...
verify through a classified advertisement of the show. Most shows were advertised in the Sunday Entertainment section in that city's largest publication. As far as the show is concerned, it was certainly a night of the Pigpen. Hard to Handle, 2 Lovelights and Good Lovin are vintage Pig

I'm biased PIG RULES..the cut in GL kills. This is good/great stuff. Jerry's curling fills in a killer Cumberland. Pig's organ fills at the climax of Casey
...
Jones. Billy's foot pedal in Sugar Mag and beyond.(OK, I'm a drummer, forgive me) but he's popping the hell out of it. Vocal harmonies that ring and Phil and Ron in top form. How bout when they stop in the first verse of HtH and let the audience finish the stanza. Bob's tinny 1st lead followed by Jer's "blisters on your back" follow up. Damn! The cover( a Rand McNally altas and a 1.5inch thick book about trees) just bounced off the top of my woofer. Bill continues to fire on all ports all the way through. Listen to those old oak Ludwigs ring during Good Lovin! Sorry, but Micky could never do that. Maybe the best Kreutz solo ever. What I would'nt do to hear what transpired after the cut and into the wee hours. Nirvana my ass! Welcome to Seattle.

I checked deadbase and they show no 1/24/71

Could be due to the late nite nature of the gig.

NRPS Opened this show, and for some reasion the Dead was a bit late getting on stage, which is most likely why the agreement was made between the SPD and

who ever, that allowed them to start up again. What a show! This was my first of very many, and my first "surprise, your gonna be real high after drinking all that" however, that surprise left in ingrained on just how good Pig Pen could sound! He was perfect that night! This show has been miss-dated in the past on many many sites, but this date is correct. Thank you for posting the show, as soon as I started listening to it, I was back there again, and again, and again. Worth the download time, very good quality recording as well!

i too find information on this show lacking. i was there though and can confirm it was superb!!!
fairly small venue and a fairly small but very appreciative ... crowd. new riders opened with jerry and played a wonderful set! pigpen was in great form! the whole show was more like a dance although i do remember standing on chairs on the arena floor. excellent live sound quality. i remember thinking at the time how great the band sounded live. the cut in good lovin' is due to curfew and much of the crowd left as the lights were brought up too. some sort of deal was cut with the seattle cops and about 20 minutes later the band fired up again and didn't quit until almost 4:00 am. i got home at nearly 5:00 am. my parents were not thrilled... a great show and a great memory!!!
