note: There seems to be no cassette generation between the MR and DAT, which is present on the previously circulated version of this show. Remastered by ìMandrakeî This was originally aired several years ago by Mandrake, on the ìMorning Dewî radio show in New York City on WBAI, 99.5fm and contains the complete, uncut recording of the Grateful DeadÃs set at the ìMonterey Pop Festivalî in 1967. My friend Barry Smith heard this source on the radio and absolutely had to have the stage banter between the first two songs but could not find a pre-fm copy of it anywhere. It simply did not circulate. The commonly circulating material, I was told was broadcast on WNEW in New York City for the festivalÃs 25th anniversary and contains two brief interview clips (one with Bob Weir). At BarryÃs request Mandrake converted his DAT to cd and vined it out to the ìMorning Dewî fans at their website... http://www.drnet.net/morningdew (You can listen to this radio show on the web via "real audio." It currently airs every Saturday from 9:30pm- 12:00am). I received a copy of this cd directly from Mandrake, EACed it to my hard drive with correct offsets and split the ìAlligator> Cautionî into two tracks with CD Wave. Thank you Barry and of course thank you Mandrake for your unbelievable commitment to spreading the music over the years! Evan Bellaff (theelevan@yahoo.com)- 9/03 As for the mystery surrounding when and where the ìAlligator> Cautionî is from, this is stll open to debate, as it is not believed to be from this show. Following is speculation on the issue contained in David Hollister's text file from his etree seed from April of 2000. It looks as these are the words of Jeff Tiedrich... "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." * Following is a transcript of what was said on stage by a nervous Tommy Smothers immediately following ìViola Lee Blues,î as rumors of the Beatles showing up at the festival had spread and unruly fans were trying to force their way into the show. The speech is followed by ìCold Rain and Snow,î and is the correct order in which these two songs were played (as opposed to HOllister's version of this show which lists "Cold Rain and Snow," first). TS: People, this is me again. I hate to cut things down like this, but, uhÖ, thereÃs a crowd of kids to whom IÃm talking; mostly to whom- Are you ready for that(warning them)? Um, thereÃs kids, like crowding around the walls, and like trying to break down doors and everything, thinking the Beatles are here. Phil: ItÃs the last concert. Why donÃt you let them in? TS: And uhÖ (chuckles at PhilÃs suggestion) last con...; all rightÖ (sarcastically). TS: (to audience) Except that theyÃre trying to break things down, crawling over ceilings and walls and likeÖ(sigh), thinking the Beatles are here and theyÃre notÖ You (accusingly to crowd)!; Those of you! Several crowd members: Let ëem in! TS: They can come in if they want to come in. Phil: The Beatles arenÃt here (over TomÃs voice). TS: The Beatles arenÃt here. Phil: Öbut come in anyway. TS: Yeah (worried)Ö ThereÃs great things happening anywayÖ (laughs nervously) Phil: If the Beatles were here, theyÃd probably want you to come in. TS: YeahÖ (cautiously agreeing with Phil). ExceptÖ Except that (pauses and laughs nervously) Ö Just donÃt, umÖ you knowÖ donÃt like bring down the ceilings and walls, and everything and uhÖ carry on. Phil: (To crowd) Be Nice!!! length expanded size cdr WAVE probs filename 14:07.40 149504924 --- -- -xx gd67-06-18t01.shn 2:16.42 24089228 --- -- -xx gd67-06-18t02.shn 3:27.26 36575996 --- -- -xx gd67-06-18t03.shn 8:08.00 86083244 --- -- -xx gd67-06-18t04.shn 11:42.32 123908108 --- -- -xx gd67-06-18t05.shn 39 |
