As commentor Correy342–proprietor of Lost Live Dead, the greatest Dead site ever–informs us, these 1965 shots are from the In Room in Belmont, CA, and as an actual nighttime performance would have been too dark, these shots were from the afternoon of the show, probably.
Of note: the sad “The Warlocks” sign taped to Billy’s drums, Bobby’s necklace that makes him the rightful heir to the throne of Wakanda, and Pig’s ugliness.
Pigpen looks like he lives in a bell tower and kidnaps sopranos.
No doubt Meadow was tops on Pig’s list.
Also notice how everyone in the band is watching Garcia, this is non verbal communication that says.. “No one in the band knows the song except Garcia, follow him”
Billy’s looking like he’s already regretting his decision.
i bet the owner made them sing the Dobie Grey classic. looks like they mighta been doin’ it in that pic.
