Subject: Amazing Show from my way back !!

I was first turned on to this tape in 1973 . A friend and long time taper Steve Wolfie Rolfe was always quick to share his tapes back in the early 70's and really blessed me with some fantastic stuff including this amazing show. I fell in love way back then with Bob's "Sawmill" as well as Marmadukes Chuck Berry tunes , especially Brown Eyed Handsome man.I have been looking for this for years since I long ago misplaced or loaned out my original copy. Takes me back. Because it carries me way back and is such an amazing show all the way around I have to five it.

This is a fun set! An excellent night for all involved.
It's worth note that this set was performed between sets at the well known and well regared Grateful Dead Harpur College 5-2-70 show which is available as a Dick's Picks release. I've had the tape for a decade or more and I'm grateful to have it now on disc.

This is a fun old NRPS show. A collectors copy versus a trading show as the sound quality is hissy and vintage (however good for the era). Someone should remaster and resubmit ?????

An excellent early New Riders performance. Sound quality is quite good considering the source. Bob Weir sharing vocals makes this a unique show. A must for New Riders fans
