Grateful Dead - 1971-12-05 - Felt Forum, NY (FM)

In early December 1971, the Grateful Dead took up residence for 4 nights at the Felt Forum in New York City.  The Felt Forum was a small theater, which seated between 3000 and 5000 people, located underneath the main arena at Madison Square Garden, The Forum was most often used for boxing matches, though numerous rock bands also played the venue, including The Doors, Frank Zappa, Lou Reed and Santana.  When Madison Square Garden was remodeled in 1990, the Felt Forum became the Paramount, and later was known as The Theater at MSG. Scott Muni, legendary WNEW-FM DJ and long time friend of the Grateful Dead, arranged to have the station broadcast night 2 of the Dead’s Felt Forum run, on December 5, 1971, 41 years ago today. Muni would be live at the Theater, and coordinated with Denis Elsas in the studio to fill in gaps before the show started and during the set break. For more details, go here to see the letter from Muni to the WNEW staff regarding the broadcast. This concert may have been the very first Grateful Dead bootleg I ever owned, lovingly preserved for years on a Maxell tape cassette. Now thanks to the magic of digital technology and the internet, we can all throw away the tapes and download a copy of that FM broadcast with the click of the link above - actually, it's 2 copies as I couldn't decide which of the 2 versions of the show sounded better, so I included both in the download file! By the way, it would 7 years and 1 month before the Dead again played at Madison Square Garden, when they played the main arena on January 7, 1979, first of 52 shows at that venue!
