"On July 16, 1967, the Grateful Dead perform at Golden Gardens Park in Seattle. Five other local bands perform at the "Be-In." Admission is free.
Located in Ballard, Golden Gardens was typically a place where the “straights” hung out, far away from the usual hippie hangouts near the University District and Capitol Hill. The crowd of 2,000 people who gathered at the park for the Be-In was a mix of all folks who just wanted to enjoy some rock music in the hot summer sun.
The bands performed on a flatbed truck with electricity provided by a small portable generator. Brick went on first, followed by Karma, The Daily Flash, The Time Machine, and Pappa Bear's Medicine Show. The Grateful Dead came on last.
The Dead were in Seattle for a show that evening at the Eagles Hall, and since they were veterans of many Be-Ins in San Francisco, the band and their manager, Rock Scully, decided to take part in the gathering at Ballard. The Be-In was arranged by Tim Harvey of Overall Cooperative Structure and Jerry Mathews of United Front Productions. "

Nod, Warning. Between the Workingman's Dead / American Beauty podcasts and the recent (Garloo) video drops and the existing scholarship, it's real easy to kill a whole day getting sucked into that era. They were so prolific 70 > 71. Thank goodness it snowed so I had an excuse to do it. This recent film has me going back to summer 67 to hear how certain tunes evolved. Dead archeology -- I love it.

Dave, That was some tour. I've always had the poster from the nights before (Vancouver) up in my house (got a copy on my honeymoon, looking at it now). But I forget about the Seattle shows.
I'm glad that little snippet surfaced. Wow. When I was kid sitting around a dormroom, we always imagined seeing some summer 67 footage one day.

The Daily Flash was the most successful of those other bands. I've had a few of their LPs and singles, and enjoyed them.
