Notes
  • Sue: band gets $7500 for the two shows plus $1250 for sound and lights. But the expost accounting has sound and lights at $1k and implies $8,500 for the talent. 11/5 preview calls room "Alden Hall".
  • announce: "Tickets for Grateful Dead Party Now On Sale," Newspeak, November 5, 1974, p. 5
  • listing: Worcester Telegram, November 15, 1974, p. 28 (billing only as "Jerry Garcia")
  • review: Minksy 1974; Garcia declined to give an interview, commenting that "he wasn't in it for the fame"
  • expost: Fine 1974, noting the concert lost more money for the school because Garcia insisted on playing smaller Alden Hall rather than larger Harrington Hall | "Jerry Garcia Concert," Newspeak, December 10, 1974, p. 8
  • GratefulSeconds: He 'Just Stood There And Played'; Jerry and Merl Hit Worcester, November 15, 1974
    • Torrents for Date
