Grateful Dead
"Vintage Dead" and "Historic Dead" LPs
This is from a show recorded September 16, 1966 at the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco.
Two semi-legal LPs of the show were released, "Vintage Dead," in October 1970, and "Historic Dead," in June 1971. It was later released in 1972 as "Pop History Volume 23," comprised of both albums. The albums were released on Sunflower Records, and were not official releases, but were tolerated by the band, so not all-out bootlegs.
