• Track Listing

Following on the heels of numbers one and two comes the third original release in the Dead’s From the Vault series. Whereas the Dick’s Picks recordings were obtained straight from the soundboard, these were professionally recorded and then mixed down later for release. The place: the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. The date: February 19, 1971. The band: Pigpen, Garcia, Weir, Lesh and Kreutzmann (Mickey Hart had temporarily left the band). This particular concert includes lots of songs from their two most recent studio albums as of then (Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty) and also features the performance debuts of some pretty special numbers—Playing in the Band; Greatest Story Ever Told; Bird Song, and Deal among them! Previously available on CD but never before on vinyl, these performances were freshly remastered in 2014; also here: Casey Jones; It Hurts Me Too; Bertha; Dark Hollow; Smokestack Lightning; Easy Wind; I Know You Rider; Wharf Rat; Cumberland Blues; Truckin’; Loser, and more. Essential Dead! Future Days.
