Tracks 2 -3 Grateful Dead Live at Shrine Auditorium on 1967-11-10
Tracks 1,4,5: Grateful Dead Live at Shrine Auditorium on 1967-11-11
Please note that Caution is: New Potato Caboose
Doesn’t seem to match with any L.A. show from 1967 listed in Deadbase.
This sounds like selected cuts from various 67 shows. It’s not one show but an EXCELLENT collection of early Dead.
Lineup
Jerry Garcia – lead guitar, vocals
Bob Weir – rhythm guitar, vocals
Ron “Pigpen” McKernan – keyboards, harmonica, percussion, vocals
Phil Lesh – bass, vocals
Bill Kreutzmann – drums

This CD is rubbish. It was released without paying attention to what its content actually was. A 1970 Dead setlist featuring Bird Song and Bertha seemed pretty suspicious to me; what’s more, according to setlists.net, the only 1970 show that took place in Rochester had a largely different setlist. Anyway, I bought the CD, and my doubts turned out to be grounded. What this CD really contains is part of the 4/17/1971 show the Dead played at Dillon Gym, in Princeton. Some songs are cut and/or fade out before their endings. Long story short, there’s absolutely no reason to buy this release, as you can listen to the same (full) show for free on the Internet Archive, and the sound quality is the same too.

Don’t bother buying, it plays way too fast. Kind of like the Trouble Behind CD plays way too fast. Completely unlistenable. Throwing away my copy.
