expost: "Hell's Angels Get 17G from N.Y. Rock Concert; Is This Tax Deductible?" Variety, March 29, 1972, p. 77. "The evening was highlighted by the arrival, at about 8:30 p.m., of about 50 or 60 couples on cycles plus a stagecoach. ... Neither the Dead nor Stein reportedly received profit from the gross, all coin going to the Angels."

deadessays: 3/26/72 Academy of Music "New Yorkers were eager to see them again, even though they’d played a four-day run at the Felt Forum in December ’71, just three months before. One paper remarked: “Seven concerts in one week at the Academy of Music, every one of them sold out within hours, more by ESP than advertising… The week’s series will help finance the Dead’s traveling expenses for a two-month, seven-country tour of Europe beginning Saturday.” (NY Daily News, 3/30/72)"
