Morning Dew, Viola Lee Blues, Alligator, Dancin...
List is uncertain. This was based on a basic setlist I wrote down at the time. I definitely recall Morning Dew, Viola Lee Blues and Alligator. Dancin' is uncertain, and after 40 years, my memory is rusty.
What a glorious scene!
1967? I was a mere stripling of 16 then. I remember that show like it was yesterday. Me and my incipient-hippie friends decided to catch the Jefferson Airplane (who I was really into then, [as I am today]) and the Dead at a free outdoor concert, as the Dead were wont to give back in '67. We arrived about noon, when the free concert was suppose to begin. The Dead opened. I was intrigued by the look of this gang of ugly misfits. ;-D I was also intrigued by the music, though it would take a week for the music to sink in.
Man, what a scene!!!! Hippies as far as the eye could see, and as far as I was concerned it was heaven, for an incipient hippie!!! The gang I was with were all high-school buddies, and no one wanted to let on that the other was smoking weed! ;-) So I moved away from my friends, so I could catch a passing joint. I purposely avoided the passed jugs of Kool-Aid, though! ;-D
The Airplane were throwing out small buttons that were marked "Jefferson Airplane Loves You". I got one, but lost it years ago. :-(
Man, what glorious memories!

I was intrigued by the Jefferson Airplane and had seen them in Vancouver BC I had never seen the Dead but was diggin' to do so. I was 16 also and visiting for the summer to go to expo 67. Man, I said what an odd looking bunch and the kid on guitar looks like some skinny gal.
The music started and I thought gee, never heard anything quite like this it goes on and on and meanders all over how strange, but, how interesting Hmm?
Someone passes a joint, bingo, hey now the music sounds very interesting and imaginative and....the rest is history. 150 shows in total over the bands whole history.
thanks
