Notes
  • Sue: Promoter: John Scher. Co-promoter: Gemini Concerts (Frank Russo, Provy). Soundcheck 4:30 p.m. $4,000 flat guarantee on gross potential of $17,424.
  • Venue: "Pawtucket’s “Million Dollar Theater” opened May 1, 1923 to a packed house, with numerous celebrities in attendence. Designed by local architect John F. O'Malley, the theater featured a mirrored lobby, an electric chandelier with 4,700 bulbs, and the largest Wurlitzer organ in New England. ... After 55 continuous years as a movie and concert showplace, the Leroy was forced to close in 1978 due to fire code violations". So, the place closed within the year of Jerry playing there.
  • Garcia and crew were interviewed by Andy Gefen earlier in the day at WBRU-FM in Provy. It is a classic!
