During the Grateful Dead's hiatus from touring between October 1974 and June 1976, , 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 soundboard recording from 44 years ago today, May 30, 1975, the band only included 2 Grateful Dead tunes (promised Land, Around & Around) in their set list. So, clearly they had their own unique sound. Download this one and take a listen for yourself.

How cool is this?!?!?!
In 1975 I saw Kingfish at the Beacon Theater in New York. Keith and Donna opened the show.
Many thanks for this.
My pleasure! Enjoy!
