- The Mars Hotel was a hotel for the down-and-out, located at 4th and Howard, south of Market (and near Winterland), and near the CBS recording studios. It has since been torn down; the demolition of the hotel can be seen in "The Grateful Dead Movie". Stanley Mouse has the original 8 by 10 photograph, used for the back cover, taken of the band members sitting in the lobby of the Mars Hotel. On the back cover, where the windows show "outer space", in reality, the windows look out on the street outside the hotel. On the front cover, one can spot straws protruding from some of the windows.
