The Capitol Theatre was (and is) a 1,850-capacity venue that was only part of the Grateful Dead’s active touring life for a short time, ending with an eventful six-show run in February 1971 that included the debut of new songs, an ongoing experiment in dream telepathy, a bomb threat, the attempted recording of a live album, and Mickey Hart’s sudden furlough. A five-piece for the first time since 1967, the Dead were beginning their transition toward being what Jerry Garcia called “a regular shoot-’em-up saloon band.” The “Not Fade Away”/”Goin’ Down the Road Feeling Bad”/”Not Fade Away” combination had come together during the fall ’70 tour and quickly became a dance centerpiece, here setting up their final boogie at the Cap.
