Grateful Dead first to record here?

In case anyone can follow-up and enhance this record... I don't see any reference to the Grateful Dead having been there before Elton John. But, John Tobler, in the liner notes to the 1995 re-release of Honky Chateau states: "... until Gus Dudgeon saved the day by suggesting a conventional studio which had been used by The Grateful Dead, and which operated in a genuinely authentic 300 year old château.... the Château d'Hierouville was an extremely viable alternative; within easy reach of Paris, but with sleeping facilities, so that everyone involved with the recording could also live there.... The finished LP's title,'Honky Château', referred to Strawberry Studios(as it was known), and was dedicated to Catherine Phillipe-Gerard, the château's manageress."
