Bruce - Thanks for you input to the 1968 listings. I have updated the entry based on your info.
All - Here is an updated entry for this show, to say that it was cancelled. Rather than pull it out entirely, I'm updateing it. It would be cool if we had a simple DeadLists page with cancelled shows listed. That way they won't keep cropping up again years from now. Band Grateful Dead Venue PNE Coliseum Location Vancouver, BC Date 11/16/68 - Saturday posters tickets, passes & laminates Comments According to Bruce McLennan, tickets had been sold, but the show was cancelled. Newspaper ads called this the "Soul Explosion". The line-up was to be: "Grateful Dead, Loading Zone, Little Dion (7 year old wonder), Special added attraction: Chuck Berry. Starting time 8.00pm, tickets 2.50, 3.50, and 4.50."

I had a ticket for it and was really bummed when I found out it wasn’t going to happen. It was a weird line-up but it would have been fantastic to have seen them live in 1968. It was never rescheduled. Had to wait until 1973 before they came back to Vancouver and I finally got to see them live. By then the Dead was no longer the psychedelic beast that I still love the most. In fact, I’m listening to the Valentine’s Day show from 1968 at the Carousel Ballroom as I type this. Amazing show.
