Grateful Dead - 1969-07-07 - Piedmont Park Free Festival, Atlanta GA (SBD)

The summer of 1969 was filled with music festivals. In fact, Atlanta hosted 2 within the span of 4 days. On July 4, the Atlanta International Pop Festival took place featuring acts such as Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chicago and Delaney & Bonnie, just to name a few. Three days later, on July 7, the Pop festival promoters gave Atlanta’s music fans a gift - a free festival in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park featuring Chicago, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, Spirit and The Grateful Dead. This soundboard recording captures the Dead’s set from that July 7, 1969 event, 56 years ago today. By the way, Gregg and Duane Allman sit in with the Dead during Turn On Your Lovelight, just one of a host of times members of the two bands jammed together in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
