Notes
First volume documenting the band (a Grateful Dead shortly lived side-project) live at The Matrix in San Francisco, October 30, 1968 & December 16, 1968.  According to sources the most likely culprits on this evening were Garcia, Cassidy, Bishop, Dryden, Hart and the jury is out on Lesh. It seems these Matrix club jams are known as “Mickey and the Hartbeats jams” as Pigpen and Weir were on band suspension due to bad behavior (?). Garcia banter explains that they were brought together by fate and just goofin around.

CD’s and Inlay in very good condition. Label sticker on the front of the jewelcase. (see photo’s).
