It was a flat fee paid to them, as I recall. We only had 800 seats. I will be giving an interview requested by the Grateful Dead Archivist, with more details of that concert and a subsequent one. Jerry was a friend, to all, truly. I spent times after that at Bill Graham's place in NY in the dressing room hanging out with him.

I like all the details, like the company name of the promoter, the guarantee, the GP, the percentage information (what gross triggers it, and what's the percentage number?), all of that. If Garcia was hanging around before the show, or after, I'd love to know it!<br />Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18366371.post-66526300715273799192015-05-17T09:22:24.184-06:002015-05-17T09:22:24.184-06:00Amazing, thank you!

There is so much material floating around, too few people with time to track it all down, or even to post memories and put names to things.

It does point towards the Atwood Hall date as before the Dec 8-9 Supermarket show, rather than after. It's also possible that if the band was scheduled for Dec 1-2 and Dec 8-9, they scheduled Atwood Hall on a weeknight. If a University is at end-of-term, they are often willing to scheduled events for students on a weeknight, so maybe Atwood was not on a Friday or Saturday.<br /><br />Following this model, maybe the Dead were scheduled for Dec 1-2 and 8-9 at the Supermarket, and Thursday the 7th at Atwood. The first weekend was canceled, but they still played 7-8-9.<br /><br />Also, another question: did the Dead have any downtime in Boston? Because if they did, I'll bet they went to see Wes Montgomery at the Jazz Workshop between Dec 4-10 (noted in the entertainment listings).Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.com
