Notes
  • Sue: contract 10/19/75. one show at 8 pm, 2 90 minute sets. $6k flat guarantee, plus lights and sound (est $1250). The rider has Nicky's dark tequila in it.
  • ad: Cornell Daily Sun, October 24, 1975, p. 6; great crow images in the ad!
  • preview: Goldstein 1975;
  • review: [positive] Gantman 1975: mentions FOTD, but we can't figure where it should go in the setlist
  • expost: Lewis 1975: describes politics around which promoter, Scher or Robert P. Davis of Unicorn Concerts, would be chosen to run the show for the students. Several heated meetings, invalidated votes, etc. Good ol campus politics. More campus B.S. 11/23/75 at a different CU. Notes that the concert committee made $1,100 on the gig.
