Related: About this forumOK, so I was enjoying the nicest day, weather-wise, In Central Me. this PM.
That included a couple of beers and a little medicinal marijuana.......so I got to thinking....
Trying to think about the 1st Dead song I remember. I think it was in 1966 and the song was Truckin', It was a Warner Brother's 45. Can't remember whether it was the A or B side (promotion-wise), but I am sure it was a Van Morrison song. I don't think it was "Brown-eyed Girl, but "Into the Mystic".
Anyone know or can the Internet tell me?

the Deab was well established in the San Francisco music scene in 1965. It may not have been 66, but it was 67, for sure.
And Van was on the Other Side.
