Does two Or more nights in one town disqualify? I’m asking for a friend. Just the one show is what we’re solving for. Two nights in one town would be a no, e.g Alaska is a no. They went up there fo Summer Solstice in 1980 (when the sun doesn’t set that far North), played three nights in a high school auditorium, and left, never to return. 2 hours ago, gr8fulpair said: South Cacalacki (1) Winner, Gr8fulpair! South Carolina (somewhat surprisingly) only got 1 show. It was a good one, though - Halloween 1985. Space->Werewolves open. 🐺🐺🐺 12 minutes ago, John A said: Gotta be zero in North Dakota too, right? Si, Senor! That leaves us needing only 1 more state with zero shows and 3 more shows with one show. We’ll see if anyone else’s mosies in here on Garcia’s birthday. If not, I may have to open it up to you all, my fellow addicts, so keep the Wheel turning. 🎡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took the Grateful Dead there on two separate, er, trips - in 1970. 😛 The good news, AC? You can still guess! 1 state with zero; 2 states with one...

The five states that have never hosted a Grateful Dead show are: 1. South Dakota 2. North Dakota 3. Wyoming 4. Delaware 5. Arkansas Thereby firmly establishing themselves as the most unhip places in the Land. We need just 2 more states that have only hosted one Show. And let the record reflect that John has already nailed those two, submitting them to me via PM. 😎 No hints, Greg! There are some other peeps who may pop in today. 😉 Stay tuned.

Fair guess, although Kansas has had 11 shows, believe it or not. ——————————— I’ll give some guidance on the remaining two states that have hosted only one show: Both shows were in 1978, and both states are east of the Mississippi River.

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted August 2, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 That was my guess. Either that or Vermont. I based my choice on the same reason that they never played Delaware. They played Philly so much, right nearby. If they’re playing Boston and Maine, they don’t need to play nearby. This is not a hint, it just seems that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a hint, it just seems that way. They cleared off that airport field in Vermont and played it in 1994 and 1995. I heard the scene in 1995 was less than ideal, and epitomized the excessive sprawl that had become a late era Dead show. But, to your point in another context a few days ago, Greg: it was still a Dead show. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Not unlike DSO, even the GD would dot New England with shows; Providence, Worcester, Portland, Augusta, Hartford. Not a lot of miles between those stops. Nothing like life out West. Takes 2 days to get from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted August 2, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 I remember reading an article about the genius of their tour manager in the seventies, strategically playing college campuses to be able to get to play Hockey sheds, etc. They created a critical mass so as to fill those bigger venues. It also helped that they were the Grateful Dead. After my input on states near well played cities, I must disqualify myself. I cheated and looked up the answer. I couldn’t stand the suspense.

On the same day Go To Heaven was released, they played Birmingham (4/28/80). Then, in a somewhat surprise move, they took the whole circus to town in 1995 for two nights (April 4 and 5). After several location-appropriate songs played in Memphis the stop prior, they did not play Alabama Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed at the hotel right next to the arena, and despite night one being a bit of a dud, our group pushed fun to new heights. Praise DSO.
