Notes
  • Don't let the GD-centric folks fool you - this was Garcia's "Triumphant Return" to stage after his coma. Both of these first two shows sold out within 90 minutes. The stories have it that during "Forever Young" there was not a dry eye in the house.

    • Historical
  • CBS-TV newsman Dan Rather was caught off guard and roughed up in NYC by one man, as another yelled the enigmatic, Kenneth, what is the frequency? R.E.M. was inspired to later write a song about the incident, and it was their first single off of their 1994 album Monster.
