Please check out  February 28, 1970 show. Here the Dead are working their way through the transition from the psychedelic sound they had perfected so well by 1969 to the more rock and roll and Americana sound of the early 70s. For instance, a precious few acoustic tunes pop up early in the show, starting with a short, fun Monkey and the Engineer. A little later, China Cat – one of their psychedelic staples - flows in a more rock direction with a peppier, more directed jam. And you can feel the band trying out new configurations on other tunes as well, most obviously when they abort the Caution after less than a minute. But listening to this show need not just be a lesson in Grateful Dead evolutionary history, there is some very fine playing here too, including the perfect little version of Alligator, an acoustic Black Peter, and the Lovelights on either end of the night. Disappointingly, the Casey Jones, which came between the Big Boss Man and Alligator and the Uncle John’s Band in the encore slot is not in circulation.This Mason’s Children was the last of the 15 the Dead would ever play. Like the Eleven, the lyrics read something like a children’s fairytale, but Robert Hunter wrote in his lyrics anthology, Box of Rain, that the song deals “obliquely with Altamont.” In that context, it is little surprise that the Dead first played the song on December 19, 1969, a mere 13 days after that tragic festival.The Family Dog was a product of the Sixties, formed when a rock promoter named Chet Helms came together with a hippie commune in 1966 to create a promotions company. They began promoting shows at the Fillmore, alternating weekends with Bill Graham, but then moved on to the Avalon Ballroom. When they failed to pay off the police, a review of the Avalon’s city dancehall permit forced the Family Dog out to the Great Highway in Ocean Beach. Incredibly active in the San Francisco music seen, Helms is sometimes referred to as the father of the Summer of Love for staging free concerts in Golden Gate Park. He also introduced Janis Joplin to the San Francisco music scene and brought together and then managed her first band, Big Brother and the Holding Company.
