Although recorded only two short months after the recently unearthed music contained on
Dick�s Picks 35 (aka "The Houseboat Tapes"), Download Series Vol. 3 presents a remarkably
different, but equally-inspired, version of the Grateful Dead. This 2 disc, complete show
gem recorded in Western New York state in the Fall of 1971 is just the fifth show with
Keith Godchaux as the keyboard player, a personnel move motivated by Pigpen's failing
health.

What Pigpen brought to the Grateful Dead in personality and sheer musical bravado, Keith
made up for in talent and creativity at his instrument. Even though he'd been in the band
for just one week, you wouldn't know it by his contributions at this Rochester concert.
Aside from the incredible musicianship he incorporated into the band's sound, his presence
seemed to reinvigorate the band.

The highlights here are plentiful, but of particular note are the nascent versions of
"Sugaree," "Tennessee Jed," "Jack Straw," "Mexicali Blues," "Comes A Time," "One More
Saturday Night" and "Ramble On Rose," all as impressive as any versions from the
much-loved Europe '72 tour, but with a much more raw energy and filled with giddy newness.
Add to these brand new songs staples such as "Cold Rain and Snow," "Loser," "Bertha"
and "Big Railroad Blues," the show is capped off by a typically powerful
Truckin'>Drums>The Other One" jam, providing everything you could ask for from this sequence.
