So back in December 1975, more than 50 years ago, you New York folk could go over to Passaic and see Kingfish and Keith & Donna for $6 or $6.50 with four members of the Grateful Dead appearing Their show on December only sold 1,950 tickets out of 3,200 seats. A different world

50 Years Ago Today, I bought a ticket at a Boston Ticket Agency for face and saw Paul McCartney and Wings at the Boston Garden. Yes, I'm old now but that was something

Having a sandwich in downtown San Diego this weekend and realized the Grateful Dead had played 10 shows a 2 minute walk away at Golden Hall, 1970-1982. Love when I find that

I respect your decision. I really enjoyed your 1970s territory analysis which no one else did. I recently ended my music analysis study after decades. You will always have your great books and the audio archives of this really enjoyable show.

If you are thinking of going to Dead and Co in Golden Gate Park on August 1-3, I highly recommend you book a refundable hotel room today before the prices skyrocket

"Twas The Night Before Cornell: Boston May 7, 1977
What's ironic about May 7, 1977 at the Boston Garden is that originally I thought the show was not that great.
