KQED was all over the place with cameras. It was a fun day, I was one of the people sitting on hay bales in the barn in the evening. I've always wonder where the footage was. Probably reused as was the practice then. An interesting footnote, I did not see any drug use, not even a joint either outside or in the house later.

So if the performance was taped and broadcast by KQED that doesn't necessarily mean a video was recorded. Furthermore, it's entirely possible that "Rick" misremembered the station, so that it wasn't KQED that was involved, but rather KSAN (a radio station ONLY) as referred to by Shanti's guitarist.RWKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163365337089995304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-68610861775906825232016-10-20T03:06:04.177-07:002016-10-20T03:06:04.177-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287821785570247118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-43825061876082935232016-10-18T04:02:22.808-07:002016-10-18T04:02:22.808-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287821785570247118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-38974514274643291782016-08-08T00:52:34.501-07:002016-08-08T00:52:34.501-07:00This report has a little film of a TV screen playi...This report has a little film of a TV screen playing a U-matic tape of Shanti https://diva.sfsu.edu/bundles/191345Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359697890339296175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-27495727695174905802016-06-24T09:14:09.945-07:002016-06-24T09:14:09.945-07:00Mr. DC, we would all love to know the fate of all ...Mr. DC, we would all love to know the fate of all the tapes at Mickey's Barn. Does Hart have a tape archive of his own? I don't know if anyone knows, or knows where it is.<br /><br />One thing that I have always suspected about jams at Hart's Barn was that while everything may have been taped, relatively little may have been kept. High end recording tape wasnt cheap and Hart was no longer a member of the Dead, so simply recording over the previous night's jam may have been the order of the day. So even if Hart has an archive--I hope so!--it may have far less than we might wish.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-22867091965056323492016-06-24T01:58:16.731-07:002016-06-24T01:58:16.731-07:00Any info on the jams at Mickeys Ranch that suppose...Any info on the jams at Mickeys Ranch that supposedly lasted for days and were notoriously "enhanced"?

My brother lived in Novato, and would pull out this album and play some cuts from it for me. He would lament that Shanti was a unnoticed band that never got air-play. He said he'd wished he could have managed them. The album cover is sky-blue themed and either featured a barn or a train or neither. (Alas, the memory!) But I don't have to rely on my memory for the music. I have one cut dubbed from that album, and can post it somewhere for ya'll to hear it.
