Hey Jim - Great to hear about the Synapse! It was indeed 2/19/69. There was an article about this the next day in the San Fran Chronicle newspaper that is reprinted in a book about the Dead - maybe in the Family Album book.
This was a party or a happening - not an actual concert the Dead played at - right?
