Comments:
This is Crosby, Garcia, Lesh & Hart, sometimes known as David And The Dorks.  This is just the actual show, and sadly doesn't include the rehearsal and sound check that sometimes circulates with this show.

Jerry Garcia & Friends were advertised at the Matrix on December 15, 16 & 17.  In the pause after the snatch of Eight Miles High vocals rehearsal Crosby is heard asking someone to "put limiters on it.  I overblew their mics last night."  The comment implies he's talking on the second night of the run, which would make this the 16th rather than the 15th; however, these tapes have always circulated dated "12/15/70."

The first four tunes are all Crosby's.  The Jam out of Triad is choice.  Bertha is a very early version with a few bungled lyrics.  Deep Elem Blues is a unique arrangement heavily influenced by Crosby's rhythm guitar.
