yeah, the original argument doesn't hold much water. the lettering is similar but can hardly be considered a copy of it. it's really so generic that you could claim similarity to dozens of different posters with that bubble-like 'font'.... pre-1970
a quick browse through the "Art Of Rock" bears this out. we've attributed set lists to Deadbase and other books, why not this one too? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > McLeod, Iver J > Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 7:12 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: 4/28/67 again and 'The Illustrated Trip' > > > Speaking of bogus posters and unknown dates, a while back I > asked about a poster on ebay for 4/28/67 > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3649388422&category=28009 This date is not listed on deadlists.

However, bogus poster or not, according to the new book "The Illustrated Trip" a concert was played on that date. Has anybody gone through that book (it's huge) to compare dates with deadlists? And more importantly, can "The Illustrated Trip" be considered a definitive source for dates? Iver
