Unless Mickey Hart wasn’t available for the photo shoot I think the photo is more likely mid 1971, Hart left the band in very early 1971 because his Dad embezzled money from the band and he was on heroin. Keith Godchaux joined in late 1971. My favorite Grateful Dead story is Pigpen getting busted for heavy drugs which he didn’t even do, he was in the hotel room when the cops burst in on the group members.
