The Legend of the Houseboat Tapes

The nice people at the Grateful Dead offices emailed this. I can not wait to hear this. Now all I need is some extra cash to waste on music.

Grateful Dead - Dick's Picks Volume 35
The Legend of the Houseboat Tapes .... Late in the summer of 1971, just before Keith Godchaux began rehearsals with the Dead, Garcia handed him a big box of tapes and said, "Here, this is our most recent tour. Learn our music." It's doubtful he ever listened to them ­ his ability to play Dead music was pretty much on the natch. In any case, he left the tapes on his parents' houseboat in Alameda, and there they stayed. For 35 years.
A month ago, his brother Brian and son Zion were cleaning out the houseboat, found the tapes, and gave them to Donna Jean, whose jaw dropped. One call to Lemieux later, and the Dead's long-lost missing tour from the summer of 1971 had resurfaced. Dick's Picks #35 will be four CDs: the complete San Diego (8/7/71) show, all that was salvageable of the 8/24 Chicago show, and an hour-plus from the Hollywood Bowl (8/6).
DP 35 will be available at GDStore.com around 6/17.
