On Tours and Marketing Records
Over at Jerrybase, we have begun grouping events not only by “runs” (consecutive nights at the same venue), but also “tours”. It turns out that the notion of a tour isn’t quite as crystal clear as one might want it. I wanted it to be at least three out of town gigs in at least…

JGB at Freeborn Hall, November 12, 1976
Sometime in the afternoon or thereabouts of Friday, November 12, 1976, Garcia, John Kahn, Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, probably Richard Loren hopped into sedans being driven by monitor mixer Harry Popick and roadie Bill ‘Kidd’ Candelario to Davis, California, about a hundred miles east of San Francisco on I-80. Thus began a little weekend…

They started in Brooklyn, spent a bunch of time in the core Northeast (New…
