Grateful Dead - Historic Dead

Historic Dead is a live album by the rock group the Grateful Dead. It was recorded at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, California in late 1966, and released in June 1971.[2][3][4]

Historic Dead was produced as a vinyl LP on the Sunflower Records label and distributed by MGM Records. Sunflower had purchased the rights to a number of concert recordings from the Avalon, including some by the Grateful Dead.[5] Historic Dead is therefore not a bootleg album. However, the band did not participate in its production. The album reached number 154 on the Billboard 200.[6] It has long been out of print, and has never been issued on Compact Disc.

Historic Dead was preceded by another Sunflower Records album recorded at the Avalon in 1966, Vintage Dead.

Have any of you heard this? Just acquired it on vinyl and am listening for the first time. Really great Pigpen tunes and overall high energy Dead.
