"They were unable to 'communicate,' however, when the question came up as to who is paying these musical groups and how much."<br /><br />What it sounds like to me is that this group tried to put together some "Age of Aquarius" show, hoping that the Dead & Hot Tuna would come for a low (or no) fee, and the bands decided not to come. <br />At any rate, the group's inability to state how or how much the bands would be paid, combined with the lack of report of any Reno show actually happening, pretty certainly make this a non-event!<br /><br />Miss Nevada, I'm sure, was disappointed.Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-70104049716910002302011-03-13T14:00:33.486-07:002011-03-13T14:00:33.486-07:00I met someone who grew up in Reno during this peri...I met someone who grew up in Reno during this period and used to come into San Francisco (by bus) to see the Grateful Dead and others at the Fillmore West. He was certain that the Dead never played Reno during that time, or he would have known. The article does say "the music of the Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna," so who knows exactly what it meant.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.com
