I'm pretty sure it was "Alligator" that the power blew out on, three times. Pigpen was riding shotgun in the truck when it pulled up to Atwood Hall. He got a friend of mine to take him to a nearby package store for whiskey. I had seen the Dead at the Trips festivals in San Francisco and encouraged Bob Echter who ran the student activities to book them. I'm pretty sure they had a concert at Boston University or Boston College the night before, so that would be another lost concert.

It is usually crowded with colorful mobs of teeny-boppers and pseudo-hippy lovers of what is subtly termed 'acid rock.'” <br />(Jerry Fogel, "The Reach, Touch, and Call of Bikel," Stanford Daily 11/10/67) <br /><br />Unless the writer's mistaken, the Dead played a show at the Berkeley Community Theater in the month or so before their LA Shrine shows. This isn't listed anywhere, so it sounds like a lost show to me! <br />(The Doors had played there on 10/15/67.)

Both Shrine venues (the Exhibition Hall and the Auditorium) would have required multiple acts to book a show, and the Dead would not have been the headliner.<br /><br />I'm pretty knowledgeable about 60s shows at The Shrine. I have what I believe to be a pretty comprehensive list (not yet posted anywhere), and I've never found a whiff of a December 13, 1967 show by anyone, much less the Dead.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-66533013534672085732010-03-30T21:14:43.569-07:002010-03-30T21:14:43.569-07:00McNally is a bit disappointing in this respect... ...McNally is a bit disappointing in this respect... Presumably he had the materials to make an authoritative tour history (if he'd wanted to). But his reference in his book that they played Dark Star live for the first time at that Shrine 12/13 show is a clear indication that he took it straight from Deadbase. He then says that they didn't head east til after that (thus the earlier Boston shows vanish). <br />So lacking any other evidence, I'd agree with you guys that this is a nonexistent show. (And I wonder who came up with that "first Dark Star"?) <br />On the other hand, perhaps it's not impossible that the Dead had unfinished business in a Los Angeles studio that was worth flying back for, in the middle of their NY studio dates?Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-12618805249033475572010-03-22T20:50:43.634-07:002010-03-22T20:50:43.634-07:00I just don't find the LA gig on Dec 13 persuas...I just don't find the LA gig on Dec 13 persuasive.

This dog's non-bark makes me really skeptical about the date. The LAT seemed to be covering the Dead's other visits that year (Hollywood Bowl, Shrine in November, etc.) pretty well, both ex ante (ads) and ex post (reviews).Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.com
