It gives us a clue as to when Bill Graham contacted Ireland to get the Carousel, not too smart a move by Rakow showing their weakness to Graham. I'm sure he knew anyway but still not smart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-45149840343304375412017-10-19T14:52:21.500-07:002017-10-19T14:52:21.500-07:00JGMF found a reference for this show:

There's a great sense of participation there. We are all part of it. There's jam sessions on Tuesday night for a dollar. A band forms up and plays for about an hour, then another band forms. Last week, Jerry Garcia and Elvin Bishop jammed together. And last Sunday, the Carousel moved their whole show, which included the Dead, Charley Musselwhite and Petris, out to Golden Gate Park for the afternoon as a holiday celebration. Last Friday Ron Rakow, the manager, got together with Bill Graham for a three-hour talk over breakfast about ways in which the ballrooms could cooperate so that each could do their scene and it would all work and make a more total thing."<br /><br />The article slightly criticizes Rakow for placing Carousel advertisements on KMPX during the strike, calling it "strike-breaking."<br />There's a lush description of the Carousel atmosphere, and the reader is urged to hang out there and be part of the community.

It's next to the Park, but its just a grassy area between Fell and Oak, not part of the park at all.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-81886957020539361262016-12-26T18:51:39.891-08:002016-12-26T18:51:39.891-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600509359755345264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-4459051217377129152016-12-26T18:35:23.959-08:002016-12-26T18:35:23.959-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600509359755345264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-72367772599827025802014-10-09T02:49:51.539-07:002014-10-09T02:49:51.539-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160321148710420968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-16236736983387550822014-09-07T19:15:06.544-07:002014-09-07T19:15:06.544-07:009/28/75 in the Park too.9/28/75 in the Park too.Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-5431717205774620322014-09-06T20:35:11.581-07:002014-09-06T20:35:11.581-07:00I am surprised you've never cited the evidence...I am surprised you've never cited the evidence for this show, considering you're often suspicious of reports of the Dead's free SF park shows! <br /><br />One interesting thing, this was apparently the last free Dead show in San Francisco in 1968 - they'd done a famous one before, March 3 on Haight St, but in '68 they were doing more free shows outside of SF. <br />I think they only played Golden Gate Park once more, the free show in 5/7/69. Clearly once they moved out of the city, playing free local park shows on a whim didn't occur very often. <br /><br />(Actually I still think it would be useful for someone to list all the Dead's known free shows...)Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.com
