Harpur concert becomes hot musical hit Step back in time.
Richard Nixon had expanded the war in Southeast Asia with his decision to invade Cambodia, anti-war demonstrators were protesting on college campuses and the Grateful Dead were entertaining them. Fast forward to today. Deadheads are now rejoicing over the release of a three-disc CD of a Grateful Dead concert that took place at Binghamton University during those turbulent times nearly three decades ago. The Dick's Picks series features peak Grateful Dead performances selected by the Dead's vault archivist Dick Latvala. The CD set is available only by mail or telephone order, with no effort to promote or advertise it, yet Grateful Dead publicist Dennis McNally said the word is out.
