Description: Grateful Dead - Atlanta Municipal Auditorium, November 11, 1971, WREK Broadcast (2CD)Keith started out feeling cosmically optimistic about his role as Pigpen's stand-in. "The Dead's music is absolutely 100% positive influence. When I met them, I knew these were people I could trust with my head. They would never do anything which would affect me negatively... They are righteous people. I first saw them play with a bunch of my old lady's friends who were real Grateful Dead freaks. I went to a concert with them and saw something I didn't know could be really happening... It was not like a mind-blowing far out, just beautiful far out. Not exactly a choir of angels, but some incredibly holy, pure and beautiful spiritual light. From then on I was super turned-on that such a thing existed. We went into this club in San Francisco where Garcia was playing, and just talked to him. A couple of days later I was playing with him and Bill, and it just sort of came together." After opening Bertha, as crew moves amps, a small shitstorm breaks out, security roughing up heads crowding up front. Lesh intervenes: “hey, that’s not really necessary” & then begins to taunt the cops. At this point, security/police come on stage. Lesh, ever-helpful & charmingly ACAB: “there ain’t gonna be no music as long as there’re cops on this stage.” Naturally, an audible “PIGS OFF THE STAGE” chant ensues in crowd. Sparks fly and smoke billows. Maximum overdrive is achieved. Youthful bounce with intensity sees them win the day.
