Is the sea air good for preserving tapes? It must be—Keith Godchaux’s brother found these soundboard recordings in 2005 on their parents’ houseboat in Alameda, where they’d been sitting for 35 years! Jerry Garcia had originally given the tapes to Keith so he could learn the band’s repertoire; now you’ll finally get a chance to lay your ears on these ultra-rare recordings and their surprisingly stellar sound quality. These lost-at-sea treasures include the complete San Diego show, all that could be salvaged of the Chicago show and the end of their 8/6/71 show at the Hollywood Bowl: Big Railroad Blues; El Paso; Mr. Charlie; Sugaree; Big Boss Man; Promised Land; Hard to Handle; Cumberland Blues; Casey Jones; China Cat Sunflower; I Know You Rider; Next Time You See Me; Sugar Magnolia; Me and Bobby McGee, and more!
