Your Date for the Garcia show is wrong. He played there in 1980 and 1983. I have posters from both shows
Good looking out, Brian. I stand corrected! Thanks to the magic of the Interweb, I’ve put Jerry in his rightful place
Cheers and thanks for reading!
I believe John Hall played solo and it was not Orleans unless he did both.
The Outlaws played in I think 1977.
Pat Metheny played in 1981.
Didn’t Hot Tuna play in 1972 as well?
Anybody have a list of concerts/shows after 82? I saw a comedy act there in 1988 (I think, could have been 87 or 89), and I cannot remember who it was – It is driving me crazy!

Hi, Just to let you know, I am trying to get The David Bromberg Big Band to play at this year’s reunion, at the Old City Hall, still working out the details.
I was on the concert committee and was the dressing room door attendant for the Gregg Allman Band. He was very quiet but very pleasant and smelled of something I wish I was smoking!
