(Documented) shows when band was trippin that we can listen to

Lagin:

But on 9/11/74, "It was generally agreed that we would all take LSD, to recoup the good old Grateful Dead. Keith was dosed, as part of the forming of a revised pirate brotherhood. He had a stomach problem, and I'm told that someone put LSD in the stomach medicine that he kept on the piano."

Fillmore East on 1970-02-11

As usual when Owsley was around, everyone backstage had to beware. Arkush said, “Backstage was crazy that whole weekend. The Dead’s roadies had all this Owsley acid and were dosing everyone…they put it in the water cooler.” (57)

“Owsley dosed everyone that weekend. That was the night that Fleetwood Mac came down and got dosed.” (58) The entire stage crew was dosed on Feb. 11 as well: “That was a legendary show. Someone had put acid in the water, so we were all under the influence.”

Fillmore crewmember Dan Opatoshu said, “They would dose everybody. And we would fall one by one… You’d just say, ‘Ah, ah. They got me. I’m outta here.’” (59)

Allmans crewmember Kim Payne had an Owsley experience: “I remember the first time we played with the Dead, I was filling [our equipment case] afterwards…it was a huge airlines case filled with cables of all sorts. I opened it up and they were all moving and looked like snakes, which freaked me out.” (60)

Butch Trucks was also dosed:

“I had had an adventure once before when we played with the Dead at the Fillmore East. The Dead had a "roadie' named Owsley Stanley that was the chemist that made the LSD for most of the civilized world. It was his goal to dose every living person. That night at the Fillmore Owsley poured enough pure acid into our garbage can of beer that if you drank a beer you'd get enough LSD from the ice water around the can to get totally loaded. I had more than one beer and by the time we were half way through our show that night I was unable to play.” (61)

Trucks didn’t have a fond memory of that night: “It was a total cluster-fuck. There was every member of the Grateful Dead, every member of the Allman Brothers, and Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood from Fleetwood Mac onstage jamming. I guarantee it was total cacophony.” (62)

Mick Fleetwood also said, “I remember playing at Fillmore East, not officially, with the Grateful Dead. On acid. They had the two drummers and I didn’t actually drum. I had a tom-tom and a snare drum and I was gooning around on the stage. Peter Green and Danny Kirwan were playing as well. That was one of the crazed nights there.” (63)

Arkush recalled, “Mick Fleetwood was so heavily dosed that he was sitting on the stage as the audience was filing out with the microphone in his hand. He kept going, ‘The fuckin’ Grateful Dead. The fuckin’ Grateful Dead.’ We didn’t have the heart to turn off the mike. He was saying it like a mantra, ‘The fuckin’ Grateful Dead!’” (64)

The New Old Fillmore, San Francisco Grateful Dead/South Bay Experimental Flash/Alligator

https://archive.org/details/gd1969-11-07.sbd.miller.119628.flac16

The November 8 concert was released on Dick's Picks Vol. 16 

San Francisco Chronicle says "The Grateful Dead will play the Fillmore Auditorium this weekend--the first "big name" rock band to appear at the Fillmore since it was taken over by Al Kramer and the Flamin' Groovies"

They were the first major band to play for the promoters who had taken over the original Fillmore. The Flamin' Groovies, who did not have that much of a following at the time, had been around for some years and knew everyone on the scene. The South Bay Experimental Flash were from Richmond in the East Bay. The band Alligator is unknown to me.

Donna Jean interview where she tells about tripping Olympia Thr, Paris and ending up under the piano because she unknowingly took 15 hits of fresh acid, not the diluted stuff she had been taking:

The Dead were to play the next two nights at the Olympia Theater two blocks from the hotel. Jerry Garcia seemed anxious. "I got a letter from one of our fans here and he said the police like to put plants in the audience to cause trouble, and then the police use that as an excuse to clear everybody out and stop the show."
"Just let 'em try it," said Phil Lesh, leering with anticipation. "We'll go up to 'em and we'll say, 'Come along, Officer -- have a drink of this Coca Cola.'"

The music began at nine, reaching the first climax two hours and 14 songs later wish "Casey Jones." It was clear this was a gathering of Grateful Dead freaks. The opening rhythms of every song were greeted with joyous shouts and applause, and between the numbers there were happy requests.The Dead look a half-hour break at 11, then played for another two hours. During "Truckin'," as the mirrored ball near the ceiling revolved reflecting light, the audience rose as one, weaving and yelping and applauding the long, jazzy drum, guitar and piano breaks. This set closed with hard rock, the familiar Bo Diddley rhythm pattern in "Not Fade Away" and the Dead's new single, "One More Saturday Night." Now Donna Godchaux, singing backup for the Dead, and some of the Ladies Auxiliary were boogying on the crowded stage. ...

The second night at the Olympian was better than the first. There were only 30 or so cops on hand -- down from 180 the night before -- a unique sort of "review" of the Dead's music and audience when you think about it. Again, all 2200 seats were filled. Again the audience crawled forward in a friendly inquisitive Gallic swell, applauding, cheering and chanting "one more one more one more" at the end of another four hour-long set. And this time, Jerry Garcia admitted afterward, "We played peachy."

(Rolling Stone, June 22 1972)

September 1974 Grateful Dead Europe Tour - movie by Steve Brown

http://spiritcats.com/downloads.html

"More than a few years ago I received a DVD in the mail from Steve Brown. I was quite surprised that it contained Steve's Super 8mm movies he made during the 1974 Grateful Dead tour of Europe.

Steve's Super 8mm movies cover the 1974 Grateful Dead European tour. London's city life of the times and the Alexander Palace set up of the Wall of Sound (2:02), Munich and the Olympic Halle (4:26), band (5:37, me at 6:00 reading the Sunday Times) and family members getting on the bus and the bus ride from Munich through Luxembourg to Zurich, hanging out on the street in Geneva with Jerry, Parish, Hunter, Keith, Donna, baby Zion, Bob Matthews, and others, and then Phil, Steve, Dan Healy, and me on our drive through the high Alps and villages of Switzerland (7:25), into rural France (with castles) and on to Dijon (14:58) ending in Paris. Two additional notes come from Steve:

*It was silent 8mm so I added a soundtrack from that Summer's U.S. tour -- Springfield, MA 6-30-74.

**Most of it was filmed while in an altered state, thank you Bear."

^ In the book This Is All a Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of the Grateful Dead, Ned Lagin and Steve Brown tell some good stories that are pictured in this quick little movie.

Specifically, Ned and Phil were driving around tripping and met up with Steve Brown and Dan Healy and when they stopped at a border they forgot they had pot in the luggage. They got searched and barely escaped getting arrested. I think there is a quick shot of the customs inspection.
