★★★★★ · Second Dead Show at Clark · cudBwrong · 2009
There was an earlier Dead show at Clark, the prior academic year, which is missing from the database. I was a Freshman in the fall of '67. The Dead made their first appearance at Atwood Hall in late '67 or early '68. They performed a lot of material from Anthem although it had not been released yet. I was sitting near the center aisle when all of I sudden, maybe 40 minutes into the set, Paul MacGalliard goes running down the aisle towards the stage. That's funny, I thought.

★★★★★ · Clarkie Experience · RockDoc50 · 2007
I was a freshman at Clark. Clark always had great music because of guys like David DePaul (rest his soul), Bob Eckert, and Steve DePaul who served on the SAB. How many other schools with a student body of under 1500 had Hendrix, the Dead (at least twice), Janis, Chuck Berry, the Chambers Brothers, the Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, James Taylor, Ray Charles, Ten Years After, etc, etc, in the space of 4 or 5 years??
★★★★★ · great show! · spankyd · 2025
i was there for both shows. the first was in december 67, i think just before christmas break. SOOOO disappointed! they actually blew out the sound system 2ce, gave it up after the 2nd time. was so glad they did a comeback show. it was scheduled for saturday, april 19th but their equipment was out in the aether somewhere (there was also a rumor that owsley wasn't there and his absence was the reason for the delay), so they switched to the 20th. and,i'm sorry, but roland kirk was a jerk.
