Today and tomorrow we bring you 2 of the earliest Grateful Dead soundboards that are in circulation. This one is from their home base in San Francisco from July 16, 1966, 49 years ago today! The band had been playing using the Grateful Dead name for less than a year at this point, having dropped the moniker the Warlocks in late 1965. Download this one, then stop back tomorrow for a 2nd show from 1966.
1966 in Grateful Dead History
- During 1966, the newly named Grateful Dead play their first shows under that moniker at the following legendary San Francisco venues: The Matrix, The Avalon Ballroom, The Fillmore West, The Family Dog, and Winterland.
- On January 21, The Dead, along with The Airplane and Big Brother & The Holding Company, play the Trips Festival at Longshoreman’s Hall in San Francisco, one of the legendary Acidf tests hosted by Ken Kesey.
- Robert Hunter begins writing lyrics for the Grateful Dead
- The band takes up residence at 710 Asbury Street, in the Haight Asbury district in San Francisco, which will become a center for the flower power, counter culture movement that spawns the Summer of Love in 1967.
- No complete live shows from 1966 have been officially released.

Would you please repost these two shows? My wife bought 11/19/66 for me at a record store in London - unusual souvenir but of course I loved it! More '66 would be much appreciated!
