  • Jerry Garcia at the Matrix, 1970-1971

    As I noted a little bit ago, Ross Hannan sent some wonderful info on Matrix gigs. In this post I respond to some of his listings with questions, additional or different information, etc. I was just going to email this, but one never knows when someone else might see this and be able to weigh-in.…

  • Mickey and the Hartbeats, October 28, 1968, Matrix, San Francisco, CA

    Deadlists no longer lists (if it ever did) a Hartbeats show at the Matrix on Monday, 10/28/68. It doesn’t appear on the Chicken on a Unicycle Matrix list, either.
