Notes
  • Standard Garciaverse note (Deadbase probably) was "Benefit for Sandy Alexander". Handbill says "Friends of Erik present a Benefit Concert for a Very Special Person", $15 a ticket, show begins at 12:30 a.m. Ticket stub (Ticketron or something) confirms $15, gives start time 11:59 PM, and words "… And Friends" and ".... Alexander" are visible. Preview says Erik was 9 and had survived a fall from an eight-story building, recently regained consciousness after a 20-day coma. "Erik fell 89 feet, breaking his hip, pelvis, wrist and legs and suffering head injuries."
  • preview: "Midnight concert set," Asbury Park Press, June 25, 1982, p. 33.
