Dear
The Grateful Dead will be in Europe this year during the months of April and May. For your advance information I am enclosing our tour schedule, the concert dates of which are fixed and contracted for; hotel information will be forthcoming shortly.
I am also enclosing some literature on the Grateful Dead in case it should be of help to you as background information for any media stirrings that might evolve around the Dead's presence in Europe.
We have been trying to go to Europe for several years now, with such frequent near misses that from a European perspective the reality of the Dead may at times seem somewhat suspect; and from our perspective, "going to Europe" takes on the aspect of an annual management exercise. These false starts have always resulted from the contradiction between economic realities and our basic desire to do something sufficiently more than a "standard" tour to make the turn-on memorable for ourselves and our audiences. "More than standard" means to us two things: firstly, to bring our whole scene over (some 50 people), and secondly, to interact with our friends and fellow-travelers in Europe so as to make the tour a creative experience in itself.
Now we have established the conditions in which a tour with these wider options can happen: We have created a fund so that we can bring over all of ourselves; and the itinerary has been arranged in such a way that enough time is between concert dates to let us react positively and spontaneously to any events that might turn up (radio simulcasts, trips to the moon, etc.). In other words, the skeleton of fixed concert dates ensures that the tour will happen, and how we fill it out will depend on the energy interchange that can be generated while the tour is occurring.
This expanded tour will be documented by 16-track recording of all the music live. The tapes will be mixed in the United States, and will comprise the material for the Dead's next album.
We are anxious to make ourselves available to the interests of the European media. It would be a help to us in our planning if you could give advance notice of interviews, etc. An appointment insures that an interview happens.
Initial contact by letter or wire to myself or Rock Scully can be made at the Navarro Hotel in New York City between 20 and 31 March, and at the Kensington Gardens Hotel in London between 1 and 10 April.
We are all looking forward to coming to Europe, to making music there, and to meeting anyone who is interested in us. I should like personally to invite you to contact me for any further information you require.
Yours sincerely,
Jon McIntire
Manager

1972: Promotional Bio (Excerpt)
In early 1972 the Dead released a short promotional biography of the band. It's chronologically loose, filled with quotes from Garcia's Rolling Stone interview, and generally doesn't have any information that isn't commonly available everywhere.
So I've excerpted just a couple parts: a section from 1966, and the account of the last few months.
1966
...When the Acid Tests stopped in the spring of '66 and Kesey went to Mexico, the Dead got off the bus and started their own (metaphorical) bus.
They returned to San Francisco in June, and after a few stops they moved into 710 Ashbury, in the middle of the Haight. It was the first time some of them lived together as a group in the City. They became an institution.
"Happy families are all alike," said Tolstoy, but the happy family at 710 was different from most, a sliding assortment of madmen who came and went in mysterious tidal patterns, staying for days or weeks or just mellow afternoons on the steps bordered with nasturtiums. It was another bus, an energy center as well as a model; it would become a nodal point for the cultural innovation that emerged from the Haight-Ashbury, including the Golden Gate Park Free Concerts which gave rise to the Dead's continuing reputation as the 'people's band.'
With all the other groups in the City, they did become a band, an economic entity in an expanding market. But the Dead were always different from the rest of the San Francisco groups. Their managers then, Rock Scully and Danny Rifkin, were of the family, stoned ten-thumbed inefficiency. While other groups fought for recognition, and more and bigger gigs, the Dead played mostly for free. Monterey was a godsend of exposure to most groups, but the Dead bitched about it, arguing that the profits go to the Diggers; refusing to sign releases for the film that became "Monterey Pop!", and finally organizing a free festival on a nearby campus and stealing banks of amplifiers and speakers for an all night jam...
1971
...Near the end of 1971 Pigpen was extremely ill, and unable to travel. Jerry had about this same time met Keith Godchaux, a piano player he and Billy had jammed with at Keystone Korner, a small club in San Francisco. With Pigpen sick, three major United States tours facing them, and the desire to have another good musician to add to their music, Keith was asked to join. Within a month he learned most of the Dead's current material and became an integral part of the Grateful Dead.
Pigpen recovered enough to join the band for their last tour of 1971, and in December the six of them did an East Coast tour that was a record high for the Dead as well as for their listening audiences. With simulcast radio broadcasts of their sold out performances in Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Syracuse, Rochester, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Atlanta, New York, Boston and St. Louis, the Dead's music and magic reached a listening audience that numbered in the millions.
1972 "The Year of the Grateful Dead"
1972 began incredibly with the live double album GRATEFUL DEAD becoming the Dead's first gold record and a two month European tour scheduled for April and May in the making. The European performances will be recorded in 16-track with hopes of material for a new live album to be mixed in the United States.
A solo album by Jerry Garcia was released in the first part of January, and Bob Weir is completing his own album at present. Bobby's album includes most of the band members as well. Pigpen is presently working on the album he plans to do.
The music and magic will continue to flow!
Phil: "The Dead, we all know, is bigger than all of us."
Jerry: "Keep it on, keep it on. Just keep on keepin' it on, folks."

March 25, 1972: Academy of Music, NYC
WINGING THROUGH THE NIGHT
The Grateful Dead don't look as if they're ever going to die. Consider: Seven concerts in one week at the Academy of Music, every one of them sold out within hours, more by ESP than advertising, and with the final one Tuesday night Dead heads still milling and boogeying in the back of the theater and along its aisles with undiminished joy, like puppies in a pet shop window.
The word is that the week's series will help finance the Dead's travelling expenses for a two-month, seven-country tour of Europe beginning Saturday when they open at London's Wembley auditorium. (Originally they were booked to play the Rainbow, London's brand new rock and roll showplace, but that auditorium has gone into financial disaster only four months after American John Morris' triumphal opening of it.)
Not that the Dead have to play to exhaustion in order to afford some plane seats, but they carry a reputation of being richer in communal feeling than in material possessions. Anyway, the Dead apparently like to play to exhaustion: the open-ended concert is their trademark.
The keystone, leader-guitarist Jerry Garcia, has grown a fierce-looking head of hair and beard over the years, but stuck in that wiry jungle is a persistent cherubic smile which tells the truth about him: open mind, open hand of welcome. Despite a couple of departures, the basic Dead core remains, guitarists Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, drummer Bill Kreutzmann and organist Ron (Pigpen) McKernan, who seems to have been born with a crushed felt hat in the middle of his head. A new member is pianist Keith Godcheaux, whose wife Donna sings occasionally with the group, thus breaking the Dead's all-male vocal pattern.
Although producer Howard Stein has presented the Dead before, this was his debut presentation of them in the 14th St. Academy and, sitting in the vastness of the 3,400-seat, double-balcony theater, surrounded by lights, smoke, yells, music, a stretch of space jammed with humanity trying to surge to the ceiling, you could imagine yourself on some bizarre super 747, without windows, winging through the night.
The Saturday night concert was a benefit for the Hell's Angels, some of whose members had been arrested on charges requiring high bail. The benefit idea didn't please every Academy crew member or every musician, but there has been an associative alliance between Dead and Angels since the Dead's 1960s West Coast beginnings, a time when they and the bike clubs there got together to share their rock music and acid experimentation. There was a similar Dead-Angels concert at the Anderson Theater here November 1970.
Jerry has had a long friendship going with Sandy Alexander, president of the New York Hell's Angels, and he told me in conversation before the concert, "Sandy is a good cat. I imagine there are people who would disagree but what the heck, I'm talking about him and me, not the world. I see this as a party to promote good feelings among whoever, specifically among us and the Angels."
When I relayed this to Sandy, he responded with a flow of mutual admiration, "Jerry is one of the most beautiful persons in the industry because he plays with all his heart for the people, for music, not money."
The Angels, augmented by out-of-town members, arrived in a spectacular motorcade of roaring Harley-Davidsons and rented stagecoach, and proceeded to party as invited. Backstage and in the theater, apple wine, beer, and Angel esprit colored the evening till 2 a.m. closing. There was an almost olfactory on-guard air among the audience, which usually smells mostly of grass and Patchouli, but then the Angels' physical appearance has a way of inspiring caution, even among those who affected leather gear to show their identification with the spirit of the occasion.
Jerry opened the Dead set that evening with "This is dedicated to the Hell's Angels and the United States of America" after guest artist Bo Diddley had advised the audience, "Git happy and don't git nervous, huh-huh-huh..." Outside a busload of TPF policemen sat through the night, bored by inaction. The greatest hazard, it turned out, is one encountered at any Dead concert: getting yourself lashed across the face by some teenage chick's wildly swinging pendulum of hair while she dances in a trance to that goodtime Dead music.
THE CALENDAR
"Calibration," hour-long show of Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service in San Francisco concert, 6 p.m. Saturday over Channel 5...
New Riders of the Purple Sage, country spinoff of Dead musical friends, will play the Academy May 2 with Alex Taylor as guest star...

March 21, 1972: Academy Review #2
GRATEFUL DEAD, IN CONCERT, RETAIN THEIR MAGIC GLOW
The Grateful Dead play New York often enough so that one might reasonably expect some of the shine to have rubbed off their local appeal. But watching and listening to them Tuesday night at the start of their sold-out, two-week engagement at the Academy of Music, I realized that the magic glow of the seminal San Francisco rock group was as strong as ever.
A program by the Dead is generally acknowledged to be something more than a concert of music. The group's long-time eminence, its association with the now-dim days of the San Francisco rock-love-good-dope scene, and its continued ability to serve as a kind of larger-than-life mirror image of white middle-class youth, give its programs an extraordinary aura of communication between audience and performers.
PROJECTION OF AUDIENCE
It seemed obvious at the Academy of Music that the young listeners viewed the Dead as some sort of corporeal projection of themselves, different perhaps in that the Dead had the technical ability to play instruments but alike in other, more important ways. (Same dress, same sense of Karma, same attitude about various stimulants, same feeling of community.)
The very special focus for these feelings was the guitarist Jerry Garcia. There can be little question that Garcia is one of the finest musicians developed by rock music, even though his roots often seem to trace more to the early jazz of Django Reinhardt than the rock 'n' roll of the late 1950's.
Yet again, the feeling for Garcia extended beyond his musical skills. He played exceptionally well Tuesday night - both better and worse than I've heard him do on other occasions. But virtually every note he played was stimulus for almost cultlike audience reaction: he was the only member of the Dead who stood, always, whether soloing or not, in the center of a dazzling spotlight.
Stripped of external trappings, the Dead's music most often sounds like that of an updated 1940's Harlem jump band - of the sort that guitarist Tiny Grimes used to lead. The rhythm snaps and crackles, the solos are bouncy, blues-based and melodic, and the vocals are less important than the overall flow of the music. It is no accident, I suspect, that words of the 1940's like "truckin'" and "boogieing" are often used to describe the Dead's music.
UPDATED JUMP BAND
The difference is that the music of those fine little Harlem jump bands was the starting point and the initial stimulus for the black rhythm and blues music of the late 1940's and 1950's that eventually led to the birth and growth of rock music. The music of the Grateful Dead is on the other end of the same time scale.
Do the Dead then represent the start of yet another cycle in pop music, or are they simply the close of a long cycle? Much as I like their music, I suspect that the innate passivity that underlies it, and that seems to infect the attitude and manner of its listeners, tends to identify this as an ending rather than a beginning. The Grateful Dead may have chosen a more prophetic name than they realized.

THEY'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE 'DEAD'
Howard Stein made the announcement at his Yes/Mark Almond show on February 19. Getting the newest dope before the ads hit the media is the kind of thing that makes an audience feel like a subculture. That feeling is good for promoters, but Stein didn't need the help, for his tidings were truly joyous, brothers and sisters--after four bleak months, the Grateful Dead would return on March 21. Computerized tickets for six nights at the 3,400-capacity Academy of Music were scheduled to go on sale three days after the announcement.
Yeah sure, Howard. By the second day, Dead freaks had managed somehow to buy half the tickets. The next day, two hours after the ads appeared, the rest were gone.
The Rolling Stones is decadent. The Band doesn't boogie. The Faces are little guys. Grand Funk Railroad is passing crudity.
The Grateful Dead is the finest band in the land.
It began in Palo Alto, hanging with Ken Kesey during the Acid Test days, a core of five.
Jerry Garcia, lead guitar, Mexican-American Army dropout from the Mission district, bluegrass head.
Bob Weir, second guitar, scion of a wealthy San Francisco bay-area family, novice musician.
Phil Lesh, bass, Berkeleyite who studies with Darius Milhaud, learned his instrument within a few weeks.
Rob McKernan a/k/a Pigpen, scion of a white rhythm-and-blues disc jockey, rhythm-and-blues fanatic.
Bill Kreutzmann, drums, so young that in his early publicity he used a pseudonym to match his I.D.
Club tapes from that period indicate only one interesting musician (Garcia) and no interesting vocalists, but the tidings from the Haight were unequivocal--the Grateful Dead was the finest band in the land.
It probably was, too. Rock and roll has never been about musical expertise. Its power is rooted in music, but transcends it, and the Dead has always been into transcendence. The citizen-kings of San Francisco's free concert domain, they achieved what every great rock and roll band must achieve: Gestalt, spiritual unity within a balanced public presence.
If Jerry Garcia was Captain Trips, his cosmic grin a beacon for every freak west of the Rockies, Pigpen was always Pigpen, an earthbound Ringo figure who undercut--and yes, transcended--his limitations as a blues vocalist with simple unpretension.
If Weir was fresh and callow, Lesh was worldly and a trifle mean.
As for Kreutzmann, he was the hidden flywheel, the working-class hero of the band's microcosmic subculture. Even today, he is most often referred to as Bill the Drummer.
The Dead's gestalt embodied the fundamental Americanness of the so-called counter culture, and so did its music. Picking from the melting pot of a collective heritage they then improvised on the pieces. Down-home boys and galaxy trippers, they combined black blues and bluegrass mountain highs, climaxing with long space jams off the tightest, most commercial soul-dance hits. Their devotion to their craft was fierce--they never stopped playing and the people never stopped dancing.
As they interacted with each other and with the audience, the shifting mix of blues and psychedelia and country music and rock and roll evolved continually, always in the direction of organic, inclusive maturity.
New personnel influenced this evolution: Pianist Tom Constanten moved them toward electronic and aleatory music, and Mickey Hart, a jazz drummer with training in Oriental percussion, worked with Kreutzmann to open up their rhythms, and then parted, leaving the band transformed forever.
One year they decided they ought to learn vocal projection, and suddenly Weir was an explosive rockabilly singer and even Lesh was participating in some tight harmonies. They did an acoustic set for a while; they toured with the New Riders of Purple Sage, featuring Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar. And a poet named Robert Hunter teamed with Garcia to write songs as subtle and evocative as any in the music.
Truckin', got my chips cashed in
Truckin', like the doo-dah man
Together, more or less in line
We just keep truckin' on.
Until the past two years, the Dead was in constant financial trouble. It earned good (not fabulous) money, but the business advisers were less than reliable and the band supported a large entourage. It toured tirelessly, however, and everywhere ex-folkies and bikers and superhip high schoolers and old rock and rollers--the gamut of the counterculture--redefined themselves as Dead freaks.
Dead freaks are like no other rock fans: Their passion for the band is equaled only by their passion for their own autonomy. A Dead freak will travel hundreds and even thousands of miles for a concert, and if he can't buy a ticket he will cadge one, or sneak past security, or stand with his ear to the door. Dead freaks spend a lot of time on their feet, boogieing to the music or edging their way through the mobbed front rows and aisles towards energy central. The choruses of the more popular songs rise from the crowd in a great shout. Not even Sly Stone excites such ecstatic participation.
The heaviest concentration of Dead freaks is no longer in San Francisco but right here in New York. The Dead could sell out Madison Square Garden at will, but decline, because they don't believe good vibes can survive such a vast impersonal hall. So it plays six nights (at prices a dollar or so less than it might demand) at the old Academy of Music, itself as funky as a Dead freak. There are Dead freaks who will attend every show.
* * *
Last Tuesday, opening night. The Dead hasn't performed anywhere in two months. To an extent, it is the usual rock concert scene: hubbub in the rear, repose up front, couples necking on the sugar-sticky carpets, the odor of cannabis. Yet everything is more intense, especially the odor.
Announced for eight, the music begins at around nine, right on schedule. The song is Garcia's "Bertha." Downstairs, the madmen in the front rows demonstrate reverse domino theory. They stand and boogie, and the people behind them follow. Weir sings the next song, a strange, angular country tune and the newest of the Dead newcomers, Keith Godchaux, who was almost inaudible when the Dead played the Felt Forum in late November [sic], contributes a wonderful solo, a lot of Floyd Cramer and a little John Cage. He obviously belongs.
Old-time Dead freaks, having followed their heroes through the most recondite abstractions, distrust the band's burgeoning audience, linking it with the almost folk-pleasant recent Hunter-Garcia songs. This is obviously mostly cultishness; the Dead dug its pretty new material, and if a few diehards didn't, that was their failing. Yet the band did appear to be slipping into a kind of rut an adoring audience permits, touring so much that the repertoire stopped expanding at the usual breathtaking rate.
The two-month layoff changed that. More than half the first set is unfamiliar, but it is clear that the Dead has taken another of its great leaps forward. For one thing, Weir was composing. One of the new songs sounds like a big Ray Price country ballad; it fits perfectly into the band's Gestalt. Pigpen had composed his own boogie-woogie, with Godchaux adding a masterful solo. And Garcia is better than ever.
If Mahavishnu John McLaughlin shows signs of becoming rock's Charlie Parker, Garcia is already its Lester Young and then some, a facile, fluid melodist whose solos are the focus of the band's music.
And like the whole band, he keeps betting better--older and wiser and funnier and more ambitious. The audience was a little confused by the new material, but appeared ready to learn. "Rock and roll!" somebody importuned from the balcony, only to hear someone yell, "Grateful Dead!" As a favor, the set closed with a crowd-pleaser, "Casey Jones." Everyone was up.
Backstage, Garcia entertains his usual coterie, but sooner than usual he is ready to go again.
"Hey, can we play?" He wiggles his fingers. "Wake up, stupid, we got another crack at it."

Howard Stein made the announcement at his Yes/Mark Almond show on February 19. Getting the newest dope before the ads hit the media is the kind of thing that makes an audience feel like a subculture. That feeling is good for promoters, but Stein didn't need the help, for his tidings were truly joyous, brothers and sisters--after four bleak months, the Grateful Dead would return on March 21. Computerized tickets for six nights at the 3,400-capacity Academy of Music were scheduled to go on sale three days after the announcement.
Yeah sure, Howard. By the second day, Dead freaks had managed somehow to buy half the tickets. The next day, two hours after the ads appeared, the rest were gone.
The Rolling Stones is decadent. The Band doesn't boogie. The Faces are little guys. Grand Funk Railroad is passing crudity.
The Grateful Dead is the finest band in the land.
It began in Palo Alto, hanging with Ken Kesey during the Acid Test days, a core of five.
Jerry Garcia, lead guitar, Mexican-American Army dropout from the Mission district, bluegrass head.
Bob Weir, second guitar, scion of a wealthy San Francisco bay-area family, novice musician.
Phil Lesh, bass, Berkeleyite who studies with Darius Milhaud, learned his instrument within a few weeks.
Rob McKernan a/k/a Pigpen, scion of a white rhythm-and-blues disc jockey, rhythm-and-blues fanatic.
Bill Kreutzmann, drums, so young that in his early publicity he used a pseudonym to match his I.D.
Club tapes from that period indicate only one interesting musician (Garcia) and no interesting vocalists, but the tidings from the Haight were unequivocal--the Grateful Dead was the finest band in the land.
It probably was, too. Rock and roll has never been about musical expertise. Its power is rooted in music, but transcends it, and the Dead has always been into transcendence. The citizen-kings of San Francisco's free concert domain, they achieved what every great rock and roll band must achieve: Gestalt, spiritual unity within a balanced public presence.
If Jerry Garcia was Captain Trips, his cosmic grin a beacon for every freak west of the Rockies, Pigpen was always Pigpen, an earthbound Ringo figure who undercut--and yes, transcended--his limitations as a blues vocalist with simple unpretension.
If Weir was fresh and callow, Lesh was worldly and a trifle mean.
As for Kreutzmann, he was the hidden flywheel, the working-class hero of the band's microcosmic subculture. Even today, he is most often referred to as Bill the Drummer.
The Dead's gestalt embodied the fundamental Americanness of the so-called counter culture, and so did its music. Picking from the melting pot of a collective heritage they then improvised on the pieces. Down-home boys and galaxy trippers, they combined black blues and bluegrass mountain highs, climaxing with long space jams off the tightest, most commercial soul-dance hits. Their devotion to their craft was fierce--they never stopped playing and the people never stopped dancing.
As they interacted with each other and with the audience, the shifting mix of blues and psychedelia and country music and rock and roll evolved continually, always in the direction of organic, inclusive maturity.
New personnel influenced this evolution: Pianist Tom Constanten moved them toward electronic and aleatory music, and Mickey Hart, a jazz drummer with training in Oriental percussion, worked with Kreutzmann to open up their rhythms, and then parted, leaving the band transformed forever.
One year they decided they ought to learn vocal projection, and suddenly Weir was an explosive rockabilly singer and even Lesh was participating in some tight harmonies. They did an acoustic set for a while; they toured with the New Riders of Purple Sage, featuring Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar. And a poet named Robert Hunter teamed with Garcia to write songs as subtle and evocative as any in the music.
Truckin', got my chips cashed in
Truckin', like the doo-dah man
Together, more or less in line
We just keep truckin' on.
Until the past two years, the Dead was in constant financial trouble. It earned good (not fabulous) money, but the business advisers were less than reliable and the band supported a large entourage. It toured tirelessly, however, and everywhere ex-folkies and bikers and superhip high schoolers and old rock and rollers--the gamut of the counterculture--redefined themselves as Dead freaks.
Dead freaks are like no other rock fans: Their passion for the band is equaled only by their passion for their own autonomy. A Dead freak will travel hundreds and even thousands of miles for a concert, and if he can't buy a ticket he will cadge one, or sneak past security, or stand with his ear to the door. Dead freaks spend a lot of time on their feet, boogieing to the music or edging their way through the mobbed front rows and aisles towards energy central. The choruses of the more popular songs rise from the crowd in a great shout. Not even Sly Stone excites such ecstatic participation.
The heaviest concentration of Dead freaks is no longer in San Francisco but right here in New York. The Dead could sell out Madison Square Garden at will, but decline, because they don't believe good vibes can survive such a vast impersonal hall. So it plays six nights (at prices a dollar or so less than it might demand) at the old Academy of Music, itself as funky as a Dead freak. There are Dead freaks who will attend every show.
* * *
Last Tuesday, opening night. The Dead hasn't performed anywhere in two months. To an extent, it is the usual rock concert scene: hubbub in the rear, repose up front, couples necking on the sugar-sticky carpets, the odor of cannabis. Yet everything is more intense, especially the odor.
Announced for eight, the music begins at around nine, right on schedule. The song is Garcia's "Bertha." Downstairs, the madmen in the front rows demonstrate reverse domino theory. They stand and boogie, and the people behind them follow. Weir sings the next song, a strange, angular country tune and the newest of the Dead newcomers, Keith Godchaux, who was almost inaudible when the Dead played the Felt Forum in late November [sic], contributes a wonderful solo, a lot of Floyd Cramer and a little John Cage. He obviously belongs.
Old-time Dead freaks, having followed their heroes through the most recondite abstractions, distrust the band's burgeoning audience, linking it with the almost folk-pleasant recent Hunter-Garcia songs. This is obviously mostly cultishness; the Dead dug its pretty new material, and if a few diehards didn't, that was their failing. Yet the band did appear to be slipping into a kind of rut an adoring audience permits, touring so much that the repertoire stopped expanding at the usual breathtaking rate.
The two-month layoff changed that. More than half the first set is unfamiliar, but it is clear that the Dead has taken another of its great leaps forward. For one thing, Weir was composing. One of the new songs sounds like a big Ray Price country ballad; it fits perfectly into the band's Gestalt. Pigpen had composed his own boogie-woogie, with Godchaux adding a masterful solo. And Garcia is better than ever.
If Mahavishnu John McLaughlin shows signs of becoming rock's Charlie Parker, Garcia is already its Lester Young and then some, a facile, fluid melodist whose solos are the focus of the band's music.
And like the whole band, he keeps betting better--older and wiser and funnier and more ambitious. The audience was a little confused by the new material, but appeared ready to learn. "Rock and roll!" somebody importuned from the balcony, only to hear someone yell, "Grateful Dead!" As a favor, the set closed with a crowd-pleaser, "Casey Jones." Everyone was up.
Backstage, Garcia entertains his usual coterie, but sooner than usual he is ready to go again.

December 1971: Felt Forum, NYC
DEAD HEADS PAY THEIR DUES
A Grateful Dead concert at the Felt Forum is postflower America reveling in its contradictions, but Dominique was reminded of the Soviet Union, where the queue has not withered away, and elbowing ahead of your comrades is a national pastime. As we pushed on in toward our complimentary third-row seats, the crowd got heavier, and so did the contradictions. The cross section of Dead heads--heavy music proles and suburban folkies and old rock and rollers--is a confusing combination of our fabled new community and the nightmare mob of Ortega y Gasset. Half the audience avoids the crush, but the remainder presses forward, packing the aisles and the front rows, and everyone is up and boogieing. To boogie, you just stand and move to the music, relating to your brothers and sisters no matter how stoned you are because your brothers and sisters are sweating and boogieing on all sides. It isn't a dance, and not just because there isn't room at a concert--even in seatless halls the floor is always tight up front. Folks do dance with each other in back, but for most the exhilaration of the boogie increases exponentially with the proximity of the musicians, and if Jerry beams his cosmic grin down at someone, he/she will not shriek like a twelve-year-old chickie at the TAMI Show but just boogie harder.
The dismay of the mass-culture theorists and their politely raised offspring is understandable--too many people in too little space, all competing to get to the fore of the hero-worshiping swarm, ignoring the hard-earned wisdom of the fire laws and damaging property that they and their sibling consumers will pay for in the end. Many of the boogiers are usurpers who buy cheap seats and confidently move up or just sneak in to begin with. Despite the love-and-community rhetoric and sacramental joint-passing, the boogiers do discriminate against the weak and the short and the timid--a few always pass out, many more get sick, and eventually someone will die--and a boogieing biker is almost as likely to knock your head off at a Dead concert as anywhere else. Yet when we finally reached our seats, we had no trouble claiming them, and the wallet and cigarettes that Dominique had unknowingly dropped at the other end of the row were passed down a minute later. A girl standing in front of us started to bum out but revived when an orange miraculously materialized. Regulars greeted other regulars, remembered from previous boogies, and compared this event with a downer in Boston or a fabulous night in Arizona.
A lot of people avoid live rock because they can't stand the crowds. In a medium-sized hall where the music can be felt in back, that smacks of the old aristocratic bullshit to me. Rock and roll developed as it did because it was a mass art, and if it can bring us together in a celebration, that's good--club intimacy and living-room privacy are fine, but in the end I am proboogie. The Dead, who played four nights at the Felt Forum instead of filling Madison Square Garden and who arranged a special live broadcast on WNEW-FM to accommodate those who couldn't make it, demonstrate that despite the contradictions, live performances are still a viable form. Ideally, the band radiates fun while a hip, property-oriented tough like Bill Graham, who produced the series, does the work. Someone has to pay, I guess, but anyone clever enough to get past Graham deserves to boogie as much as this reporter. A lot of hassle might be avoided if reserved seats were eliminated--the fanatics should be in front, first-come-first-serve. The risks and the contradictions are real, but the principle seems to be that a good time involves a few dues. That doesn't seem like such a bad principle to me.
