Reconstruction in Tempe, AZ, July 29, 1979 (CANCELED)

I gather up a lot of stuff, and “processing” it takes time. I appear to have gathered the above about 2/20/2015. It bears the watermark of noted photog Jay Blakesberg, and it’s a ca. July 1979 schedule of Dead-related events put out by the GD offices.

Of course, I care about the “Reconstruction Band”. July 14-15 in Colorado were canceled, Garcia putatively ill (but not so ill that the GD couldn’t spend some time in the studio, per a few cuts on the Beyond Description release – harumph). July 20 and 22 shows happened, the July 28 show in San Diego is uncertain (no tape, no other hard evidence), and this is the first I have seen of a listing for the band at Dooley’s in Tempe, AZ.

I have no idea if the show happened. If it did, it’d be notable as the band’s only out-of-state gig outside the April shows at Barry Fey’s Rainbow Music Hall in Denver. **update: as noted above, and elaborated in comments, the show was sold out but canceled for reasons not recalled.
