Halloween at the Gym at Stonybrook: 51 Tunes with the Dead and the New Riders (and 44 the Night Before)

Til the Morning Comes Happy Halloween Kiddies and 5am Greetings from California. Come back with me 48 years to the SUNY Stonybrook shows on October 30 and October 31, 1970 where the Dead and the NRPS combo delivered  95 songs over 2 nights. Two shows with two bands each night, Hope I got it all here.

Bobby looks boss here.  Here is the music

Alot of repeats during the shows, includsing three St Stephen's, but in the first show on 10-31 that play Viola Lee Blues>Cumberland Blues > Uncle John's Band , which is the last Viola ever.  The last early period St Stephen also disappeared after Halloween the next year 10-31-71 until my first show in Boston 6-9-76.
