Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA 7/3/66 captures the Grateful Dead on two CDs in the summer of 1966, a full year before their debut album, when they were still the house band for a scene that was just beginning to bloom.
This is the early Dead in all their scrappy glory. Ron McKernan, better known as Pigpen, is a commanding presence out front, and the band leans hard on blues, R&B and folk covers while their own songwriting is only starting to emerge. Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann are already locking into the loose, conversational interplay that would define their next three decades.
Viola Lee Blues stretches out into the kind of collective jam that would soon become their signature, all rising tension and wild release. Cold Rain and Snow is brisk and bright, Garcia's guitar ringing out over a rolling organ. Pigpen owns Big Boss Man with a swagger that shows why he was the band's original frontman, and In the Midnight Hour turns Wilson Pickett's soul classic into a sweaty, extended workout.
It is a rare, clear window into a band on the cusp of everything that made them legendary.
For Deadheads, a chance to hear the roots of the long, strange trip, straight from the Fillmore stage.
