Kingfish - 1976-03-11 - Los Angeles, CA (FM)

Many bands from the 1960's took extended time off during the 1970s. The Grateful Dead, for example, took a break from touring from October 1974 to Spring 1976. During the Dead's hiatus, Bob Weir joined his long time pal, Matthew Kelly in the band Kingfish. Weir's arrival had two major impacts on the band, which were both a blessing and a curse. First, Kingfish finally got a recording contract, thanks to the Grateful Dead's new label, Round Records. Second, from that point in they were often identified as Bob Weir's backing band. Yet, as can be seen from this show, an FM Broadcast from 45 years ago today, March 11, 1976, the band only included 3 Grateful Dead tunes in their set list. So, clearly they had their own unique sound. Download this one and take a listen for yourself.
