Contact the folks at www.wolfgangsvault.com <http://www.wolfgangsvault.com> They now are the copyright holders to most all of Bill Graham's concert related stuff. Right now they mostly sell posters, handbills, tickets but they do have lots of photographs. Also they might be able to tell you if a recording even exists for that show. -----Original Message----- From: Burton Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 4:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GD recordings - 6/5/70
Hi Jim (or whomever this reaches), I just found your site online, which lists set information of Grateful Dead shows, and it appears as though you have recordings of these? What I would be interested in, is if you have any recordings of the opening bands, and specifically, Southern Comfort, from the weekend of 6/5/70 at the Fillmore West. My Father was the guitarist in that band (Fred Burton, or Fred Olsen, as he was also credited), and I would love the opportunity to hear him play live, as he has been deceased since 1980, and I never had the chance to see or hear him play live (except for as a small child, and I have no memories of that). I realize this is a long shot, as it seems that you only have recordings of the Dead themselves, but any help or information you could give me would be more appreciated than you could imagine. If you could even point me in the direction of someone else who would maybe have recordings, or photos, or anything, from that weekend, I would be thrille! d. Thank you very much for your time. -Chris Burton
