Notes
  • Keith Godchaux's first show, beginning of Pigpen hiatus.
  • Broadcast KQRS-FM 92.5 stereo and 1440 KQRS-AM
  • exante: Fine 1971, text via deadsources: October 19, 1971: Northrop Auditorium, Minneapolis MN: "John Pete was sweating, standing there on the stage of Northrop Auditorium Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday evening was the Grateful Dead-New Riders of the Purple Sage concert which KQRS radio, the station of which Pete is the program director, was going to broadcast live on FM stereo radio. Pete was in shock because it was 3 p.m. and the group's equipment had yet to arrive. One hundred and fifty pieces of equipment, $100,000 worth, were still at the airport." The NRPS came out at 7 PM to test the radio transmission.
  • With the support of Warner Brothers, which had declared October 1971 "Grateful Dead Month" and was heavily promoting Skullfuck, most of these gigs were broadcast over FM. See Lost Live Dead, Grateful Dead Live FM Broadcasts 1971 (FM IV). This was Keith's first tour with the Dead, and Garcia's last with the New Riders.
