Jerry Pruett Memorial Tree - 5/17/77

When was that show?
Once upon a time it was believed without question that the Grateful Dead
appeared in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on May 17th and at the Fox Theatre in
Atlanta on May 18th and 19th. But alas, one fine day a well-meaning fan
produced a ticket stub for Tuscaloosa dated the 18th of April. A massive
investigation followed and numerous individuals, too many to mention really,
worked long and hard to learn that the Tuscaloosa concert was in fact
originally scheduled for April 18th and tickets were sold bearing that date.
For reasons not determined the concert was rescheduled for May 17th. The
best guess why is that the 17th of May was simply more convenient for the
band^?s schedule. But too further complicate this issue, there has been an
unsubstantiated claim that the Dead also appeared in Tuscaloosa on the 18th
and not Atlanta. However, ticket stubs bearing the date May 18th Fox
Theatre, Atlanta, GA have been produced. At this point I would like to put
this issue to bed for eternity everlasting. I believe it can be stated
without challenge that the Dead played Tuscaloosa, Alabama on May 17th, 1977
and at the Fox Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia on May 18th and 19th, 1977. There
is no question as to the veracity of these facts.
