The Capitol Theatre Presents Unreleased 1971 Grateful Dead Concert In Its Entirety Feb 16 With Full Light Show

"A Dose Of The Dead: 1 Legendary Night At The Capitol Theatre In Port Chester, NY" To Feature Additional Unreleased Music Curated By Archivist David Lemieux
 
If you missed the Grateful Dead in their heyday at the Capitol Theatre,
where they performed 18 times in 1970-71 alone, The Cap is giving you
another chance to experience an all-out Dead dance party. On Saturday Feb
16, the rock palace will present a complete, unreleased concert recorded
live at the theatre in 1971, played in its entirety through the Cap's
state-of-the-art D&B sound system at full-concert-volume and accompanied by
visual effects from the theatre's concert lighting rig.

"It's no secret that the Grateful Dead loved playing at the Capitol
Theatre," says the band's archivist David Lemieux. "The show, from 2/24/71,
the final Grateful Dead show at the Capitol, and the last show of a six
night run, features many recently-debuted songs ("Bertha," "Loser,"
"Greatest Story Ever Told," "Playing In The Band," "Deal," and "Bird Song"),
as well as a Pigpen-centric batch of great music, including "I'm A King
Bee," "Good Lovin'," and "Lovelight," with these latter two clocking in at
nearly 20 minutes each."

The show was mixed from the original 16-track analog master tapes recorded
at the Cap for the Skull & Roses album, although none of this show was
included on the album. Following the concert, the theatre will play a
greatest unreleased hits "mixtape" assembled by Lemieux, drawn directly from
the vault's master tapes and from a recently discovered batch of tapes from
1969-70.

Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door. Doors open at 7pm and the show
starts at 8pm.
