When:

Short story:

The Grateful Dead play at The EMU Ballroom, University Of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, USA, supported by Palace Meat Market.

Full article:

Jim Richmond : I was the lead singer for the Palace Meat Market. Four days prior to this show we were asked to open for the Dead. I had been with the band about ten days and had never performed before more than 20 or 30 people as a folk singer. Imagine me stepping onstage to find some 2-3000 real strange looking people. That first set we did and the Dead show that followed changed my life forever, soooooo much for the better. Thank you for the changes, the love, the music and all you have done for us.
