THE AVENUE CAFE
On March 13, 1971, Grateful Dead played at Jenison Field House on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI. New Riders of the Purple Sage (with Jerry Garcia on steel guitar) opened the show. No recording of this show has ever surfaced! To commemorate the 55th anniversary of this legendary and mysterious event, three Lansing-area Grateful Dead cover bands will be performing at The Avenue Cafe:
- Deadly String Band
- Dead Honey Collective
- Quality Jerry
