Grateful Dead Perform Garcia/Hunter's "Mission in the Rain"

Mission in the Rain was traditionally a Jerryband song for the most part, but the Grateful Dead did play it 5 times during 1976.

It's a really cool song, but is not exactly a mood picker-upper.

Robert Hunter lived in San Francisco's Mission District when he wrote the words to the song, so I built the slide show with a lot of pictures from the murals in that area, which are very popular and cool.

This is from the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, 6-29-1976.
