I saw the following on a Quicksilver web site giving the dates for The Quick And The Dead tour:
JANUARY 1968 18-band leaves for Pacific Northwest tour w/ Dead 20-Eagles Auditorium, Seattle 22-Eagles Auditorium, Seattle 26-Eagles Auditorium, Seattle 27-Eagles Auditorium, Seattle 29-Portland Sate College OR 30-University of Oregon, Eugene FEBUARY 1968 2-Crystal Ballroom, Portland 3-Crystal Ballroom, Portland 4-South Oregon College, Ashland The Dead historians have them in Eureka, CA on Jan 20th and we have shows in circulation labeled as being from 1/22 and 1/23 from Eagles Aud, with the dates from 1/26 thru 2/4 matching up. The funny thing is that I haven't seen any documentation that they played at Eagles other than on the 26th and 27th. There are the posters as well as a shortly after the fact review that only mentions them there on the 26th and 27th. I believe that review mentions something like it was pretty boring there untill the Dead and Quicksilver came to town this past weekend - i.e. the 26th and 27th. There is an interview online with David Freiberg of Quicksilver at: http://www.penncen.com/quicksilver/freiberg/interview.html In this interview he speaks of this tour and seems unsure if it included a stop in Vancouver. I think that the dates and locations of the shows from before the 26th should be investigated further. Maybe I can dig something up by looking through the old newpapers next time I get to the Library Of Congress. Where the heck is Eureka, CA anyway? :-) Dave S.
