Grateful Dead - 1974-06-08 - Day On The Green, Oakland CA (SBD)

On May 26, 1973, Bill Graham promoted the first Dancing On The Outdoor Green at Kezrar Stadium in San Francisco. featuring Grateful Dead, Waylon Jennings, and the New Riders Of The Purple Sage.  That show became the blue print for a series of festivals called a Day On The Green, that Graham ran from 1973 to 1991, the year he passed. The concerts were held at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Stadium, which was also home to the Oakland A's baseball team, and featured 3 or 4 bands on the bill. The first Day On The Green in 1974 was held on June 8, 51 years ago today, headlined by the Grateful Dead. Leading in that day were The Beach Boys, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. This soundboard captures the Grateful Dead's 2 sets that day, a perforamnce that featured the famed Wall of Sound, a mammoth speaker system that could unleash a total of 26,400 watts of audio power. Four tractor trailers and 21 crew members were required to haul and set up the 75-ton Wall.
