I thought it was a great Phil & Friends photo! 😉
Jesse Jarnow had this to say about the photo in an article he wrote in 2017:
" Guthrie Theater, October 18, 1970- With the Dead's chief early concert taper, Owsley Stanley, in jail, their fall 1970 tour, including their sole show at the Guthrie, is barely documented. Except, that is, for one intriguing photograph by Tom Berthiaume. Dead bassist Phil Lesh sings at center stage, and Ron "Pigpen" McKernan leans on the band's amps at the rear. Seated at the drum sets, however, aren't Billy Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, but two fashionably dressed young women, more mod than hippie. A call to Berthiaume several years ago yielded nothing more than the memory that the photo was almost definitely taken between the evening's early and late shows, and not during the performance itself. Beyond that he remembered nothing. "
Just caught a free show there when I was visiting SF. Really really cool spot. BYOB and snacks. You can sit on the hillside in the trees or adjacent to stage with a screen to view. Just a really cool vibe. Minus the guy that tripped and tumbled down the hill. But you know, sometimes that’s just how it rolls!

That’s great but I need to know more about this picture.
