The following has been confirmed with Vic Briggs (of the Animals): March 22, 1968: State Fair Coliseum, Detroit, MI: Eric Burdon and The Animals, Grateful Dead, Eire Apparent, Apostles, Jagged Edge
This was billed as "The Grande Scene at the State Fair Coliseum", this was effectively a Russ Gibb promoted Grande Ballroom show that was moved out to the State Fair Coliseum because of the expectations that the promoter had for the crowd that would show up to see the Grateful Dead and the Animals. When the expected numbers failed to materialise, the decision was taken to move the following Saturday show back to the Grande Ballroom. The Grateful Dead decided to bail out on the Saturday performance and flew back to San Francisco. March 23, 1968: Grande Ballroom, Detroit, MI: Eric Burdon and The Animals, Eire Apparent, Apostles, Jagged Edge No Grateful Dead performance on the Saturday.
