Family Dog at the Great Highway
San Francisco, California
Unfortunately, there is not a recording for this night. However, we do have a setlist. The three-night run at the Family Dog, of which this was the first night, was lost to the world for some time. Then, just a few years ago, Mountain Girl found a tape of the next night, April 18th, amongst Jerry’s personal effects. That show has since been released by the band. Barring a similar discovery, which seems unlikely, we will never listen to April 17, 1970 again.
