The Dead didn't play many shows in April 1970, and this run with The Miles Davis Quintet serving as the opening act is clearly the high point. The downside of the 4-night stand is that, like many of the spring of ’70 shows they taped, most of the reels were haphazardly lost or stolen. Fortunately for us, a good deal of Bear’s 7-inch half-track reel master of the final night’s performance survived. Harry Ely’s fantastic stereo field recording fills in the gaps.
