Atlanta, GA, Piedmont Park
Recorded just a few months after the Live/Dead recordings, this terrific Dark Star shows the further evolution of the song after the Fillmore West gigs as the Dead transitioned into the Workingman's Dead/American Beauty era, while still easily playing primal music

    Skullf**k had "Dead Heads Unite"

    No.

    “Dead freaks unite” is from the Skull and Roses album. First album didn’t have any message.

Has anyone determined if these wav files are of superior quality compared to the typical 30 Days mp3 files?

"look out, cause here comes some free advice..."

Reading all the gripes about quality, prizes, repeats or anything keeps me from wanting to read comments.
It reminds me of Bill Graham saying something like, "More More More...hang out and let the band decide" - ? Fillmore East April '70???

Many of the 30 days were shared in prior Novembers. Most of these 30 days releases have always been available in one place or another. Only time, research, bandwidth and Gigabytes stand in one's way.

IMO, listen and enjoy!!!

Since "dead freaks unite" in 'Skull & Roses", when they asked us to tell them who we are -- there's never been any band so connected to their audience. No doubt they tried to embody the ideals of the late 60's and put $$ behind the beliefs.

i appreciate these November morsels just as much as i did the 45 rpm freebies round records sent me in the 70's.

I aint preaching, more an old man's angst for the tomorrows big decision.
