| Note | Notes: Grateful Dead, Wildflower & QMS 4/8/67 KPIX-TV studios, San Francisco, CA
"The Maze" TV > C/? >CDR 1. The Wildflowers - Please Come Home (3:41) 2. announcer's intro (0:23) 3. Ralph Gleason interviews Jerry Garcia (4:30) 4. Grateful Dead - Cream Puff War (3:52) 5. QMS - Pride Of Man (3:57) 6. QMS & Dead composite - Walkin' Blues (2:24) 7. announcer's outro (0:23) total time 19:12 There is no cut in Cream Puff War. SHN'ed by H.B. 7/02 thanks to Uli Teute for the tape. Following are (edited) comments from Deadlists contributors. Dave Sorotchy: (Walkin' Blues) starts out with QMS playing the song, at 27 seconds it switches to the Dead playing it, at 50 seconds it switches to QMS, at 1 minute and 27 seconds it switches to the Dead, at 1 minute and 59 seconds it switches QMS, who finish it out to a total time of 2 minutes and 14 seconds. Bart Wise: The cuts are carefully done, and this might be how KPIX-TV broadcast the piece. The sound quality is similar to the version of Cream Puff War. I couldn't find the other version of Grateful Dead doing "Walkin' Blues" (from 1966) to compare with this one, if I even have it. Finally, if it helps with dating the tape, the Quicksilver web site lists October 1967 as the month Jim Murray left the band. David Sorochty: Yeah - I know what you're thinking. There are some stories about them going on the Maze show and lip synching a song. I've even seen a picture from that TV appearance where Phil I believe, was holding a broom instead of his bass to mock out the whole lip synch thing. So I thought that even though this didn't sound like the version on the 1st album at all, it would be worth a check since if it is kind of grungy, and as it turns out this is a much longer version than the one on the LP and they *definitely* are not the same. So - if this was from that TV show, maybe they recorded the audio there for the TV show and they just lip synched it later? Is it possible that this is from another TV appearance where they didn't lip synch or maybe from a radio program? Who knows? I guess I always just presumed that when they lip synched on the Maze show it was to a song off the 1st LP. Jim Powell: Somewhere I've seen or heard Ralph Gleason quoted during this period remarking that even when San Francisco bands perform the same song, they play it differently; he gives as his example the Dead's and Quicksilver's different handling of Robert Johnson's Walkin' Blues. During his concluding remarks the announcer seems to refer to this comment. Perhaps it appeared in a passage of the show cut between Cream Puff and Pride Of Man, or between Pride and Walkin' Blues. It seems less likely that the show also included a performance of the tune by the Dead. Grateful Dead 06/18/67 Monterey Pop Festival, Fairgrounds Monterey, CA 1. Cold Rain And Snow 2. Viola Lee Blues 3. Alligator > 4. Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks) Source: SBD:MR>Cass>DAT>ZA2>CD Alligator -> Caution has no cassette gen. Comments: (from Dead List Reader) Alligator > Caution may not be from Monterey. What makes me suspicious is that at the conclusion of Caution, Bill Graham is heard to say something like "let's hear it for the Grateful Dead." Bill Graham was not the emcee at the Monetery Pop Festival, so it's doubtful he would introduce the BAND from the stage. However, some folks have speculated that since Graham was in attendance and a friend of the Dead, he might have done the intro and or the outro as a "guest emcee." The Alligator is a curiosity; it's a very primordial version without vocals. Some parts are missing. Pigpen plays harmonica over the "verse" parts of the song. If indeed this date is accurate and Alligator was not yet fully fleshed-out as of mid-June '67, the certainly the true date of "5/5/67" falls somewhere later in the year. 08/05b/67 O'Keefe Center Toronto CN Source: SBD>MR>R>DAT>CDR Conversion: CDR > EAC(secure) > Cool Edit(remove pops) > CDWav (retrack) > mkwact(seekable) mvernon54@attbi.com Set 1 [18:35] 01.
