The Healthy Dead

EXCEPTIONAL LATE SUMMER ’71 SHOW FROM THE LAST DAYS OF THE ORIGINAL 5-PIECE GRATEFUL DEAD • Just a month after closing down the Fillmore venues (both East and West) Bill Graham presented this two-night stand at the Berkeley Community Theater, with the Grateful Dead and New Riders of the Purple Sage.

These were to be some of the last ever performances by the original five-piece Grateful Dead line-up. • Just a few weeks after this show, frontman Pigpen would be diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, following years of alcohol abuse.

Pigpen would return the following year, but would not be healthy enough to join the fall tour that October.
