Pittsburg???
This has to be a joke. Pittsburg added the "h" in 1911, and I don't believe the GOGD played Pittsburg before 1911. If any can prove to me that this show was played in "Pittsburg", I will believe it. Anyone have a ticket stub to prove this? Everywhere I've looked, it's "Pittsburgh". TPTB are simply wrong. Once again, somebody put down the pipe too late before inputting this answer. Merry Pranksters seem to be running the show this year, but I'm still enjoying the ride.

That's all I got to say about that.
Edit: I did see late last night that a You Tube version has a mislabeled / "mis-dated" Family Dog February date up masquerading as 2/28. That threw me off too...
Hi, 2/27/1970 is not mislabeled in the Archive - that version of Casey Jones on 2/27 in the Archive is different from yesterday's answer. The guitar solos, while similar in the first couple notes, are different (as is the wait time/tuning after the end with that laugh, comment, tuning a string etc...). Like others, I nailed it down to the Jan-Feb 1970 era where there's no Bobby solo and they jump right into a Jerry solo that has different beginning phrasing from the recorded version and most live versions after mid 1970. Jerry starts it like a "tightrope walker getting his balance" a bit in these early 1970 versions. But the 2/27 version is different on the solo in that he goes up to some higher pitch notes after a similar bit of phrasing he was doing in Jan-Feb. The answer from yesterday's version, the "missing Casey" from 2/28 tapes, has him stay in the same range of notes for a bit longer.
A streaming version of 2/28/1970 with Casey Jones actually on it just does not show up on the usual sources. I tried to find a 2/28/1970 elsewhere and could not after I found out about the "missing" Casey Jones on some reported tapes. I thought I found one but again that guitar solo did not match. I wonder where it is....
Basically did process of elimination yesterday. Knew it was February 70 because I didn’t hear TC’s organ, but by Port Chester in March the guitar solo had disappeared. Having heard all samples that didn’t match (including a YouTube video of the 3/1 version that doesn’t circulate) and the 2/28 version on YouTube being a mismarked 2/27, I had to guess it was the one version that I didn’t hear, and darned if I wasn’t right. Today is a 50/50 shot if you determine the era and know that one of the songs took a long hiatus.
