Full Show Friday | Grateful Dead On PBS Celebration 1970

By Scott Bernstein Sep 13, 2013 1:25 pm PDT

On August 30, 1970 the Grateful Dead visited the KPIX Studios in their hometown of San Francisco, CA to record a set that would be broadcast under the title Calebration. The Dead played six songs in their short set, which showed the diversity of their repertoire at the time.

As the show begins we come into a performance of Pigpen belting “Easy Wind.” The set continues with a tender “Candyman” and a raucous “Casey Jones.” Next up is an emotional reading of “Brokedown Palace” before “Uncle John’s Band” brings the set to a close.

Earlier this year a fantastic clip of the broadcast appeared on YouTube thanks to Voodoonola2. We present it as this week’s Full Show Friday selection:
