Grateful Dead, Watkins Glen Soundcheck, 1973.
This rehearsal was recorded in Watkins Glen Grand Prix Raceway outside of Watkins Glen, New York on July 27, 1973, where The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, and the Grateful Dead performed on the next day.Although the concert was scheduled to start on July 28th, thousands of music fans were already at the concert site on the 27th. Robbie Robertson of the Band requested to do a soundcheck, but was perplexed that so many people were sitting in front of the stage. Bill Graham allowed the soundcheck with the crowd of people in front, and the Band ran through a few numbers to the delight of the audience. The Allman Brothers Band did their soundcheck next, playing "One Way Out" and "Ramblin' Man". The Grateful Dead's legendary soundcheck turned into a two set marathon, featuring their familiar tunes such as "Sugaree", "Tennessee Jed" and "Wharf Rat". They also performed a unique jam that was eventually included on their retrospective CD box set So Many Roads (1965-1995).

The day they busted the Grateful Dead\ was like a flight of winged alligators\carefully measuring marble with black\ rubber telescopes.
