Reasoning for my dating:
Received this as a cassette about 1990. Neither the show location or date were provided. This came with two other (1971) Grin shows with dates that are clearly incorrect from examination of the song lists("1969-1970" and May 1969"). Given the band's repretoire here...two long blues covers, an apparently unreleased Lofgren original, and a smattering of songs from what would become the band's first three albums, there is obviously no coherency to promote any LPs, nor any mention of an LP. The mild reaction of the small crowd also contributes to my belief that this is prior to any LP release, and probably prior to any recording for the 1st LP.
Grin released their first two LPs in 1971, so the first must have been very early in 1971 (I have been unable to locate the exact release date of the first one on the Spindizzy label). The recording sessions, for same, would probably have been late 1970. Jimi Hendrix died in September of 1970, and if this gig were in 1970, after that date, I would have expected some mention of him in the song intro to "Red House", but there is none. I believe that pushes this recording's date prior to September 1970. Yet the arrangements of the first LP songs played are is virtually the same as that LP, so the gig can't be too far ahead of those recording sessions. The best guess I can make...summer or fall of 1970. As far as location...the band probably didn't stray too far from home in Virginia (The other two shows I received were from Washington DC and Virginia, and my source was in that area too).
