Early 1972 was a relatively quiet time for the Grateful Dead. Over the first few months, they only played two gigs—Winterland on January 2nd, and a short American Indian benefit at Winterland again on March 5th. During this period Bob Weir and John Barlow wrote a bunch of new songs that were recorded over a few weeks in January/February for Bobby’s first long player, Ace. Jerry’s solo record was also released at this time (along with Merl Saunder’s first studio effort) and he took the opportunity to play several local shows with Saunders, as well as a short East Coast tour with Howard Wales in support of the newly released Garcia/Wales LP, Hooteroll.
