  • Reconstruction at the Rainbow – April 11-12, 1979

    Probably my last substantial piece for at least three weeks. I. Barry Fey (1938 – April 28, 2013)[1] A. Background Once upon a time, twentysomething New Yorker Barry Fey set out to promote rock shows in Chicago and wound up in Denver. Arriving there in 1967, he would have found a town built on stuff…

  • GD September 3, 1972, Folsom Field, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO

    I have posted on this show once, but only to link these breathtaking photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34917706@N07/sets/72157622061027813 Photos, I gather, by Joe Calvin. I have always thought there’s a dissertation or book to do about music at colleges and universities. Corry has hipped me to their importance in economy, among other things. The Dead in Boulder is…

  • GD at Mammoth Gardens, Denver CO, April 24-25, 1970

    It seems that these shows have been shrouded in mystery and legend for a very long time. Maybe it’s because April 1970 was such a hot month, because the tape circulating from this weekend reveals a characteristically hot show, because the next gig (4/26/70 at Poynette Wisconsin) is similarly enshrouded, because “Mammoth Gardens” just sounds…

  • 8/28/77 update

    updated–see below In an earlier post I had asked about a show scheduled for Folsom Field at CU-Boulder on August 28, 1977.

I am going to check the Denver/Boulder papers for…
