Citing "mounting health problems," Jerry Garcia has postponed his upcoming tour dates, including his show scheduled for Sunday at Frost Amphitheater.This ended up being canceled.
I had earlier noted that that summer's Eel River show had been moved from 7/13/91 to 8/10/91, speculating that Jerry was rehabbing his latest fall from the wagon on the heels of yet another GD intervention after the Denver Dead show (6/28/91). The rare candor of the Stanford cancellation announcement feels to me like strong confirmation of rehab as the reason.
I also found a ticket stub at Wolfgang's Vault showing JGB at The Telluride Mid-Summer Music Festival, in beautiful Telluride, CO, Friday, July 19, 1991. (Also billed that day: Jackson Browne / Joe Cocker / Allman Brothers Band.) This performance was also canceled.
So Gar is off the road a little bit, giving up some paydays trying to get himself clean again.
