Mickey and the Hartbeats, October 1968
Someday I may write up a post about these shows that I love so much and that are so central to my thinking. But for now I just wanted to show off the poster I splurged and bought myself. Updates: ! note: Note the misdating to 1969 by Grushkin’s AOR. ! ref: AOR 2.118: October…

GD: October 12, 1969, The Meadow, Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY (CANCELED)
Via Google News, found this in the Village Voice: Now, I show “Jerry Garcia and Friends” at the Matrix on this date, based on the list of Matrix gigs shared by former venue manager Gary Jackson. I presume that to represent the New Riders, though I just don’t know. I have no particular reason to…

GD/NRPS: March 21, 1971, Expo Milwaukee Convention Center, Milwaukee, WI
March 1971 is an interesting one to me re the GD. It’s overlooked between the (overrated, IMO) Port Chester shows of February and the college and Fillmore East shows of April. Given my taste for the obscure, I’d naturally be drawn to it. Musically, and thus most importantly, it has one of the most unusual…

GD/NRPS: November 23, 1970, Anderson Theatre (Hells Angels Benefit)
–> Crossland, Chip. 1970. Hells Angels Presents The Grateful Dead. East Village Other v1, n1, pp. 10-11. Publication info from my copy uncertain. I believe I got this from Joey Newlander. There was no publication information, but the reference, which comes from Deadlists, is probably correct. Pretty hilarious write-up. My only real purpose is to…

The HuffPo has posted a gallery of pretty hilarious protest signs. My favorite one isn’t in there, so I post it below for my own enjoyment, and that of any other morans who may view it.

Nice Blazer, Kid
JGJK: Eisenhower Auditorium, Penn State University, November 16, 1984 Archives of the Penn State Daily Collegian are available online at http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/, which might prove useful for others (I have found lots of Jerry-related stuff). Just for giggles, I thought I’d post this little snippet from the police blotter over the weekend of the Jerry Garcia/John…
