This show was taped and
This show was taped and restored by Ken & Judy Lee - theater managers at the Port Chester Capital Theater from 69-75.
{Form the balcony}
The restoration of their tapes are called the "Port Chester Restoration Project". Their claim to-fame as of now are a few Dead/NRPS shows and a killer Janis Joplin show. (Which I read she wrote Mercedes Benz in front of that cap that night).
The cassette tapes cases were derogated but the tapes are still alive with music. The tapes themselves actually had to be baked and the process was not cheap for them.
Mr & Mrs Lee still go to shows at the Capitol and sit in the best seats in the ADA section.
The 6/24/70 show was not in circulation and it was big deal when they released it in 2003 or 4.

The disks I have include a solid mix of the audience which really helps the listener connect with the moment. By the time they hit St Stephen you can feel the pure joy oozing out of each person.
As I'm listening to all my disks in order (started in '78 for some reason so I'm looking at the home stretch), I don't see any of the setlists before I put them on. The triple dark star sandwich was a nice surprise.

Oh, damn! I think this is the tape the melted my mind in the 1990's and I have since lost track of the recording! This was a mind bending show! I never knew the exact date or venue but I have to give this a listen to see if it's the show I've been missing for so long...It is a very distinctive setlist.
Thanks for posting Zang, and for the background info Odysseus! I'm gonna have to try to seek out Ken & Judy Lee and thank them!

From the Dark Star to the IKYR i believe this is the greatest 46 mins of continuances piece of music the boys ever staged. First time i heard this concerts was in the mid 80s. Always hoped that a cleaner copy would appear. Thanks to Mr & Mrs Lee!!! If you have not listen to the sandwich, you maybe starving and not even know it. If you know something tastier let me know.

Thanks for posting this, Zang. I really like this era and I'm pretty sure I listened to this a few (10?) years back on my sequential odyssey.

I finally met Ken and Judy
I finally met Ken and Judy Lee last night and picked Judy's brain threw out the intermission
Judy and Ken are from queens and still reside there
It all starred out in in 1969, fresh out of high school
They took a job working for legendary
NYC rock promoter Howard Stein as he was pulling off shows at flushing meadows.
Which by the way so was steve Parrish who met the band and was coaxed to go out west. I think Steve had ramrod pick him up at sf airport
That is in big Steve's book home before daylight
Anyway Fred Stein purchased the theater in port Chester and hired Ken Judy lee
Judy said the chamber brothers opened up that theaters first show
They witnessed so much rock history in the ny area, some of which they taped
But the most significant is a Janis Joplin show from 1970 that defines what a rock concert and her majestic talent is all about
Janis wrote Mercedes Benz while sitting on her porches parked outside the the capitol theater.
I if those walls could talk
Ken Lee said he is working on line with grateful dead books?
