On March 8, 1971, New York City’s Felt Forum was home to what some folks claim to be the greatest fight of the century when Muhammad Ali lost a 15-round decision to smokin’ Joe Frazier.
What a great show that was! I grew up near NYC and remember listening to the entire live broadcast - a friend of mine went to the show but I wasn't able to. I've run hot & cold with the Dead over the years (I would not be considered a true Deadhead), but I still love & listen to the Felt Forum '71 shows and that one in particular. Bill Graham's introduction is classic! Thanks for the post.

Very cool. I've got a copy of the actual FM broadcast that sounds excellent.
