| Note | There are conflicting reports about when this show took place. Some say it was the opening of the Straight Theatre on 7/23/67. Or it might've come from the Portland, Oregon Acid Test that happened around Christmas, 65 or New Year's day 66. Either way, it's a rare glimpse at Neal and the Dead doing what they do best. It's all one track. |

| Tech Note | Neal Cassady with the Grateful Dead There are conflicting reports about when this show took place. Some say it was the opening of the Straight Theatre on 7/23/67. Or it might've come from the Portland, Oregon Acid Test that happened around Christmas, 65 or New Year's day 66. Either way, it's a rare glimpse at Neal and the Dead doing what they do best. It's all one track, but it goes something like this: 01 Jerry introduces Neal Cassady 02 Dead: random sounds, Neal: rap 03 Dead: Lovelight, Neal: rap 04 Dead: Dark Star, Neal: rap This link has a complete transcription of the Neal's rap, and includes a very detailed explanation of what Neal's talking about by Ken Babbs. http://www.pugzine.com/arch01.html Basically, this is as good a glimpse as you'll find into the mystery and genius that is Neal Cassady. Enjoy! all comments, questions, corrections welcome. Jeremy Pollock travelswithspider@yahoo.com |
