New Riders of the Purple Sage and Acoustic Grateful Dead: Lion’s Share, San Anselmo, July 30-August 1, 1970
(This is an updated version of an earlier post, “GD/NRPS19700731-19700801: Lion’s Share, San Anselmo, CA, 4/20/2011.) Some time back, I reported listings for “New Riders of the Purple Sage & Grateful Dead, Lion’s Share, 9 pm” for both July 31, 1970 and August 1, 1970, in the calendar section of the Berkeley Tribe. Here’s the…

Long narrative in the following: Thomas King Forcade, “Winter’s End: free the Rock & Roll Six,” San Diego Free Door, April 23, 1970, pp. 8, 12, accessed…

This scan from the Berkeley Tribe v.6 n.4 (issue #110) (September 3-9, 1971), p. 13 advertises a benefit for Marin County Head Start featuring Grateful Dead, Howard Wales and Shades of Joy on Friday-Saturday, September 3-4, 1971 at the Harding Theater in San Francisco. Why post? A few reasons.…

James and the Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)
Found this interesting. The New Orleans House ad from the Berkeley Tribe v.3 n.15 (issue 67) (October 16-23, 1970), p. 21 lists “James & The Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)” for Friday-Saturday, October 13-14, 1970. Corry has said this about the connection between the bands: James and The Good Brothers were a Canadian…
