A similar release was used for the November 15 Moratorium Day show in Crockett:
You will have a chance to celebrate the hope of peace with the band that makes unity seem like music--
The N.Y. Times says, "They may make the greatest rock of all."
THE GRATEFUL DEAD
Thrill to the electrifying guitar wizardry of Jerry Garcia.
Breathe with the booming bass of Phil Lesh, the fastest bass player of them all.
Gasp at the audacity of the legendary Pig Pen, to whom shame is but a word in the dictionary.
Grope to the exotic jungle rhythms of Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann.
THE GRATEFUL DEAD
and appearing with them,
THE BLACK DIAMOND BLUES BAND
On a related note, the show announcement for the Dead's 11/21/69 Sacramento show, from the 11/17/69 California Aggie (the UC Davis student paper):
ReplyDeleteKZAP PARTY
"The Grateful Dead" will headline the KZAP Birthday Party at Cal Expo on November 21.
Someone once described The Grateful Dead as "living thunder." Certainly they are the weirdest, black satanic weird and white archangel weird. As weird as anything you can imagine, like some horror comic monster who, besides being green and slimy, happens also to have seven different heads, a 190 IQ, countless decibels of liquid fire noise communications, and is coming right down to where you are to gobble you up. But if you can dig the monster, bammo, he's [a] giant puppy to play with. Grateful Dead weird, ultimately, and what an image that name is."
(A.B. Skhy, Country Weather, Commander Cody, and Wildflower are also announced on the bill. The description is a direct quote from the August '69 Rolling Stone article on the Dead, but it's certainly a colorful way to introduce them.)
Wildwood not Wildflower are on the announcement and handbills, whoever they were.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, my mistake, it did say "Wildwood" but I had Wildflower on the brain.
