“There Is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert!”
Neither recording seems to reside in the Internet Archive:
Log Cabin Boys, American Legion Log Cabin,San Anselmo, CA
November 23, 1986
Sony ECM-939T > Cassette Master (Sony D6/TDK MA-R90)
Recorded by Steve Marcus
All transfers and mastering By Charlie Miller
Thanks to Sandy Rothman for finding Steve’s masters.
There was a bad mic cable that caused some problems.
This was The Grateful Dead’s Thanksgiving dinner party.
Sounds like just four friends sitting around a room and jammin’…tryin’ to figger out many bluegrass chords and lyrics and “…who sung it…” and even “if I know it…”.
And lots of tuning and banter, which means I won’t know how much of the New Riders I will be able to get in towards the end until I get there, depending upon how much tuning and banter I can skip…
There is no bassman, and I boosted the bass a tad to eliminate some of the hollowness:

3. Glass Of Wine
4. Drifting Too Far From Shore

Jerry Garcia – banjo, vocals
David Nelson – guitar, vocals
Sandy Rothman – mandolin, banjo, guitar, vocals
Dan Healy – guitar, vocals – does not play on last 4 or 5 songs
And, as time allows due to the various tunings, banters and discussions in the broadcast above.
The uploader claims that this date is actually 11/20/71:
“***Note: This has been date corrected. tracks and FFP will still show the 1970 date.***”(…the instructions that came with this download…)
New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Palestra,, Rochester, N.Y.
November 20, 1970
FM (knet)>?>cdrs>eac>flac
Thanks to Jason Graham for the source disc
Myself, I seriously doubt that this is any date other than 11/20/70 The Palestra. This date is documented in the New Riders concert database, and on 11/20/71 they were at the Pauley Pavilion at UCLA. And I also know for a fact that Buddy Cage’s first appearance with The Riders was 11/11/71, Atlanta Municipal Auditorium. And as well, Mickey left both groups in February, ‘71, and returned to The Dead in October ‘74.
