TAPER'S NOTES 2007.07.28:
I don't remember anything from this night except a lot of hashish......lol....except making that noise that jumps from channel to channel during a break (no whistle on this recording...)
I don't think the Dead were too keen to be back in Louisiana after what happened in New Orleans on 1/31/70. I'm sure that somewhere along the
line the band found out that the management of the Warehouse, Beaver Productions, KNEW that the NOPD were under orders to bust the first
bands to play the Warehouse, and the Dead were targets BEFORE the bust. Hell, the chief of police in New Orleans made a public pronouncement at a Press Conference that he would shut down the Warehouse.
There was a litany of bands busted in New Orleans between 1968 to 1972.
The Animals (July 1968 - AND October 31, 1968 both concerts stopped in progress )
Jefferson Airplane (May 1969)
The Grateful Dead (1/31/70)
The Allman Brothers (7/29/72)
and a few others I don't recall at this moment.
They tried to bust the Who in 1968 in New Orleans, but the raid turned up no drugs. Why? Because the Who were alcoholics, not druggies. And The Who didn't stay in New Orleans, but 100 miles up river at Baton Rouge, where they quite famously trashed the hotel suites where they stayed.
