The Grateful Dead...With The Beach Boys!

In the last week, I've been listening to the last shows at Bill Graham's Fillmore East in New York City in April 1971.

These are some classic shows not only for their historical significance but also because they have some downright scorching long sets.

On April 27, 1971, The Beach Boys joined The Boys for some solo numbers as well as sitting in with them.

I put together the joint renditions of Help Me, Rhonda and Merle Haggard's Okie From Muskogee. There's a little dead air for tuning in these, but stick around and don't leave before the miracle happens! It's really beautiful to hear Jerry's playing behind their pretty vocals.
