The Angels are going to have a party and you better be there. It probably is going to be the wildest thing to come out of the rock 'n' roll computer this year. 2 dollars a head for an all night long boogie party with the GRATEFUL DEAD. Who else but the angels would try to pull anything off this big? A celebration of sorts with overtones of rock and roll. Then I saw...this cute fotographer of rock and rollers, Lisa from brooklyn, I told her too, she squealed in delight." <br />(Charlie Fricke, "Fun," EVO 11/10/70) <br /><br />The same page featured a little ad for the show: "The New York chapter of the Hells Angels are throwing a party at the Anderson Theatre November 23. Starring the Grateful Dead."

A rival gang came up on the outside and the next thing you know clubs, chains and who knows what appear and people start screaming and running, knocking me over onto the ground. I run across the street and in no time it seemed like a hundred NYC cops are everywhere....But wait, now I see a clear path to the ticket window! I run across the street to it and low and behold, a Hell's Angel is in the booth, blood coming down his face, and he sells me a ticket! I go in and The Dead are already playing. A Hell's Angel is walking around with a cigar box handing out joints. I must be in Wonderland! <br />A great night to be a Dead Head and party with The Angels!

(Crossland also seems to have missed the fight!) <br />One reliable-sounding person writes, "The last set opened with Dancin' in the Street and ended with St. Stephen>Not Fade Away>Lovelight. Encore: Uncle John's Band." <br /><br />One lady on dead.net writes, "I still have the cassette recording I made of this show... I had front row seats and this nice Hell's Angel guy helped me record the show. The tape deck sat on the stage so you can imagine how it sounded."

He doesn't seem to know any of their songs besides "the hits," and only once is it implied that he'd even seen the Dead before, though they'd been playing NYC all month. Apparently he went to this show just because it was nearby! <br />It seems the only members he knows are Garcia & Weir. (He even misidentifies Pigpen as Lesh, and thinks Hunter's onstage.) Note also when he says Garcia is an Aquarius who picks with his "middle finger"... <br />(He also mangles the word "psilocybin" - but you try spelling it!) <br /><br />He does give us some useful setlist info, mainly of the covers he knew. The show was scheduled to start at 8:30, and ended around 3 am, so even granting a late start & long breaks, the Dead must have played for quite some time. <br /><br />A mime artist opened - I wonder if this was Joe McCord/Rubber Duck, who was then working in the Tarot play with Tom Constanten in town. McCord had opened for other Dead shows, for instance at the Boston Tea Party in October '69. (It's interesting that here Crossland says the mime was backed by "Purple Sage on guitar," which is vague.)<br /><br />NRPS - <br />Mama Tried (w/ Weir) <br />Cathy's Clown (w/ Weir) <br />The Weight (last song, probably without Weir since he isn't on other known versions) <br />[I don't know of a single Weir/NRPS Cathy's Clown in circulation, unfortunately.] <br /><br />DEAD - <br />Around & Around <br />Bobby McGee <br />Midnight Hour <br />Not Fade Away <br />Casey Jones <br />Garcia ballad <br />Uncle John's Band (last song)<br /><br />Around & Around isn't named in the article, but since it's quoted at the beginning, the Dead presumably must have played it. They had only started playing it that month (11/8/70 the first version) - Bobby McGee was also brand-new to the Dead repertoire; in fact this show is the first known Dead version, though NRPS had done it earlier. <br />Crossland says he hadn't heard the first few Dead songs before, but given his low level of familiarity - he had never even seen NRPS before, although they had been playing constantly with the Dead in NYC for the past two months - this doesn't mean much.Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.com
