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…
