One of the greatest shows I ever saw (10/9/89, Formerly the Warlocks in Hampton, VA) was on Yom Kippur. When my mother asked "what about temple ?", I replied "I will be at my own temple" ;-)

The Dead had a habit of always playing Spring Tour during one of the big Jewish holidays, Passover. A bunch of the Jewish folks used to get together in the hotels and celebrate with the traditional meal of Passover, the "Seder". Sometimes Fall Tour would also collide with either Rosh Hashana (New Years) or Yom Kippur (day of atonement, a good one since we could be forgiven for all our sins in one day, usually about an hour at Temple). The Jewish folks would again celebrate that one together while at shows. I would love to give Uncle Bobo (Bill Graham) some credit here. He always managed to make some acknowledgement of the Jewish Holidays. Note a Frost Amphitheater show from (sketchy on the year here) '83 where he wishes everyone a happy Passover. -Eric P. _______________________________________________ etree.org etree mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etree Need help?
