China Doll - for Phil

Notes: on 12-31-70 from deadlists site
COMMENTS The New Riders, Hot Tuna and Stoneground were also on the bill,
and the Dead closed the evening with one long set. Two separate tapes make
up the circulating recordings from this show. Video of the concert was
broadcast by KQED-TV San Francisco with the first 4 songs simulcast on
KSAN-FM San Francisco. The tape of these tunes comes to us from the
simulcast FM-SBD; on the circulating tape there is a cut in Monkey & The
Engineer at around 1:00 and Easy Wind breaks off about 3 minutes before its
conclusion. According to DeadBase IX a Me And My Uncle followed Easy Wind;
but if so there is no trace of it on circulating tape. 


The other tape in circulation is a pre-broadcast SBD from KQED-TV; it picks
up with Big RR Blues. In the pause before Dire Wolf they tease Cryptical
repeatedly. The Other One goes directly into Black Peter, entirely eliding
the Cryptical Envelopment reprise and jam. In the interval between Sugar
Mag and China Cat a taper in the audience is busted, with Phil directing a
spotlight upon him. In the background of the China Cat › Rider that
follows, but definitely on mic, there is a lady screaming out of control --
she sounds very dosed, spun out hard, and at the moment not really having
that much fun. She screws up the recording of China Cat › Rider pretty good
and continues some in the pause that follows, where there's also a woman on
mic looking for her cape -- plainly things were a little out of control
backstage; perhaps there was a mic live that shouldn't have been somewhere
backstage or in the wings. 


The show-concluding Good Lovin › Uncle John's Band that follows is an
alltime classic. It used to circulate as Side B of a cassette whose Side A
contained the last 45 minutes of Fillmore West 6/7/69, with the concluding
Lovelight with Janis breaking off before the end, and sometimes this Good
Lovin › Uncle John was erroneously labeled "6/7/69" (nearly 6 months before
the tune's premier!). Where versions of Good Lovin earlier in the year have
a passage of drums, here the drummers move to the foreground and Jerry and
Phil take turns discreetly jamming with them for about 4 minutes before the
whole band resumes jamming at full blast. And like the Good Lovins of
11/29/70 and 12/28/70, this one anticipates the Pigpen rap arrangement of
spring '71.

NEXT WEEK: (Jack Straw Hosts) Christmas Night !!
Expect the end of 12-31-70 and the entirety of 12-31-71!
