The mystery of the Jerry Garcia Band 11/28/77 ticket stubs
I just don’t know what to make of this. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, are five unique ticket stubs for a Jerry Garcia show at SUNY Stony Brook (Gym) on November 28, 1977. There is another stub that used to be linked from the Jerry Site which is distinct from these five.…

NRPS: Bear’s Lair, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, August 1, 1969
update: LIA has posted text from the various goings-on at the Family Dog On The Great Highway this night. Corry at Lost Live Dead has just posted a GD/JG performance list from July-August 1969. I don’t have much to add, but since he mentions the New Riders of the Purple Sage gig(s) from August 1,…

June 1969 Community in Musical Efforts (COME) program, Oakland, CA
I have found two 1969 articles related to Community and (some say “in”) Musical Efforts (COME), a two week series of seminars and workshops in “now” music to be held at Mills College, Oakland, CA, in June of 1969. Teachers were set to include Jerry Garcia, John Handy, Mickey Hart, Roland Kirk, the Tape Music…

GD: March/April 1971, Northern Illinois University, Dekalb, IL (CANCELED)
More early ’71 scheduling stuff: “The Grateful Dead pulled a last-minute cancellation at Northern Illinois University a few weeks ago.” This was in an article published on May 7, 1971 (1). So depending on the meaning of “a few weeks”, it could have been in March, when the GD were in Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, canceled…

GD: January 31, 1971, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA (CANCELED)
Not much to say here, just another monkey wrench in the early ’71 touring works for the GD. A student committee agreed in November 1970 to try to bring the GD out for January 31, 1971. Somewhere along the line a Jefferson Airplane concert took place that offended the University administration’s sensibilities. It seems that…

GD: July 4, 1974, Titan Stadium, Oshkosh, WI (CXL)
A mention in the Chicago Tribune of June 20, 1974 (1) notes that tickets are still available for the GD’s July 4th show at 10,000 seat Titan Stadium in Oshkosh, WI. I had though Corry had written this up over at Lost Live Dead, but I don’t see it there so I thought I’d at…

GD: May xx (between 23rd and 30th), 1970, Northwestern University (TENTATIVE)
Grateful Dead Northwestern University Evanston, IL May xx (between 23rd and 30th), 1970 PLANNED Not sure it can be called a canceled gig, since this report characterizes plans as tentative. Furthermore, it might well have happened and we just don’t know about it. Further Productions, a Northwestern University student group, was hoping to book the…

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…

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. Turns out it was for a festival known as “Sun Day” (this being Sun Day 3), with the following on the bill: Willie Nelson; Emmylou Harris; Dave Mason; Jerry Jeff Walker; Stillwater; Jerry…

8/28/77?
NB: question resolved, update in separate post. A calendar listing in Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph, August 27, 1977, p. 22D, indicates a show on Sunday, August 28, 1977 at Folsom Field in Boulder featuring Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Dave Mason, Jerry Jeff Walker, Stillwater and Jerry Garcia. I am going to check the Denver/Boulder papers for…
