While not part of the official Grateful Dead catalogue, these discs surfaced several years after the fact due to an early contract signed with MGM, who sneaked them out on the subsidiary Sunfiower label.
Taped at the Avalon Ballroom in 1966, the band called the performances “a source of embarrassment”, not least because much of the material was taken at a frenetic pace more typical of an amateurish garage band. But the lack of sophistication was only relative, as Garcia’s stirring reading of Dylan’s «It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue» and the psychedelicised «Dancing In The Streets» (both on “Vintage Dead») amply reveal. The recordings also highlight the central role played by Pigpen during the band’s early stages. The albums were subsequently compiled as “The History Of The Grateful Dead» on the Pride label.
Another early recording, where the group backed jazz singer Jon Hendricks on his «Fire In The City»/”Your Sons And Daughters” single, has yet to surface, quite possibly because it was withdrawn prior to its release.
