The track is edited down from almost 10 minutes to around 5 minutes and has overdubbed congas and rhythm guitar (a bit heavy in the mix, in my opinion), I'm assuming from around the same period.Giancarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330036314340552815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-72821991495837760632020-07-17T17:34:40.896-07:002020-07-17T17:34:40.896-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349664932762098625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-70102429366142604432017-09-10T09:31:08.834-07:002017-09-10T09:31:08.834-07:00Boy, I really doubt that.

They each held perhaps 100 people. Thus a radio show was a step in broadening the band's horizon. Another way to look at the promotional angle of this KSAN broadcast was to consider Garcia's fame, and that the broadcast was a way to insure that the broader rock audience didn't make a wrong assumption about a Garcia show.<br /><br />Lots of San Francisco rock stars, like David Crosby and Graham Nash, played gigs aside from their main group. Garcia had an implicit need to show what his band was like, and in particular that it wasn't just "Dead-lite," doing his own version of "Uncle John's Band."<br />Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-28586253293611292492014-10-04T05:54:17.800-07:002014-10-04T05:54:17.800-07:00I am not trying to be combative, I am just trying ...I am not trying to be combative, I am just trying to shift my own view away from what I know to have happened ex post. I think they were already selling out local shows, so the big benefit would have been with respect to selling some Fantasy vinyl, such that the benefits would accrue to Fogerty and Vitt (et al.) regardless of who played the radio show.Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-2757104635138390522014-10-03T21:57:58.083-07:002014-10-03T21:57:58.083-07:00As a tape, yes - but even before the show, Garcia ...As a tape, yes - but even before the show, Garcia & co. presumably knew that a) the show would be re-broadcast on KSAN, and would have more listeners than whoever was tuning in on Feb 6; and b) as such, even if there was no payment, it was basically a promo for the band that might draw more local listeners to the shows. <br />They'd have to be even less commercially minded than I thought for that not to have crossed their minds... Garcia, at the least, would've been highly aware of the promotional effect of a broadcast. <br />So yeah, it's odd that two members of the band would bow out of it, especially if (as Corry suggests) the date was scheduled well in advance.Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-73452545405213637722014-10-03T17:00:22.612-07:002014-10-03T17:00:22.612-07:00But I think it was only a well-known broadcast aft...But I think it was only a well-known broadcast after the fact, hindsight and all that.Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-73036660500273883892014-10-02T20:38:45.751-07:002014-10-02T20:38:45.751-07:00For such a well-known broadcast, it's odd that...For such a well-known broadcast, it's odd that neither Fogerty nor Vitt appear, both being regular members of the band at the time. (They're both on our January '72 Garcia/Saunders tapes, I believe?) <br />But this raises the question of just how "regular" they were, which can't really be answered due to the scarcity of Garcia tapes from '72.
