Concert Lists For years I kept a running list of every single concert I attended. I’d come home after the show and dutifully record the data.

Jerry Garcia Band, San Francisco, CA, August 12, 1977 First San Francisco Trip After reading Kerouac’s On the Road and Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, I was determined to visit San Francisco. Right after I graduated from high school, I turned that dream into reality. By the summer of 1977, I had already seen the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band, and Kingfish about fifty times, but I was eager to see them on the West Coast. It was the announcement that appeared on the sleeve of the Skull and Roses album that beckoned me to travel from Brooklyn to Marin County: DEAD FREAKS UNITE: Who are you? Where are you? How are you? Send us your name and address and we’ll keep you informed. Dead Heads, P.O. Box 1065, San Rafael, California 94901 The first thing I did after arriving in San Francisco was make my way to 710 Ashbury Street. The photograph I took of the famed Victorian became my first published photograph, appearing in Relix magazine later that year. During my exploration of the city, I also spotted a poster announcing that the Jerry Garcia Band would be playing a benefit concert for Greenpeace in a few days at Pier 31, downtown on the Embarcadero. While I was waiting in line to get into the show, Jerry pulled up and parked his car. With his guitar case in hand, Jerry walked past the line waving to us and into the venue. Holy cow! I needed to live where Jerry drives to his shows.
