The founding members were Jerry Garcia (guitar, vocals), Bob Weir (guitar, vocals), Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (keyboards, harmonica, vocals), Phil Lesh (bass, vocals), and Bill Kreutzmann (drums). The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California amid the rise of the counterculture of the 1960s. Left to right: Bill Kreutzmann, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh. However, the best sound for the show, hands down, comes from the definitive July 1978 boxed set release from the band.The Grateful Dead in 1970, from a promotional photo shoot. But another solid recording from Bob Wagner includes the encore, which the Knight version omits. There is an audience recording from Timothy Knight that, to our ears, it is the best of the three audience tapes available. The Promised Land encore puts a final, joyful spin on the evening. Finally, the band turns over the rest of the set to pure bone shaking joy with a rousing Iko and Around and Around. The boys deliver a version for the ages, leading into a somewhat wacky, but very hot Truckin’. Phil is the last to leave, save the drummers, and he is the first to return again for Space, which rather quickly arrives at that incredible piece of music and lyrics, Wharf Rat. Eventually, the song itself get left behind entirely as a bass and drum dominated jam takes off and gets scorching hot. The pace picks up as the rest of the band jumps on board, making the jump to hyperspace as stars and moonbeams ricochet around, pausing only for the verses. Just a minute or two into the tune, and Jerry is already invading distant galaxies with his guitar and appropriating their most sacred and cherished riffs. From Estimated, the boys segue into Eyes, which begins in standard fashion before leaving anything normal behind. Ship of Fools provides the transition into the meat of the second set, which leads into an excellent Estimated. Following the Deal, Samson and Delilah storms forth, driven on by Bobby’s vocals and underlying guitar runs while Phil throws in some serious bombs and Jerry fires away at nearly every opportunity. After break, the boys open up with a rousing, tightly played Deal.
