Notes
  • FM broadcast WAER-Syracuse
  • review: [positive] John Wisniewski, "6,500 Rock to ‘Dead’ Sounds; Riders Superb in Warmup," Syracuse Post-Standard, October 28, 1971, p. 8
  • deadsources: October 27, 1971: Onondoga War Memorial, Syracuse, NY
  • JGMF: NRPS were best when Marmaduke was focused and sober
  • 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.
