Our blog today is about a Grateful Dead show at the Dane County Coliseum on February 15, 1973.
Starting today, my photographs on my website will have a watermark on them for many reasons. The biggest one being that I am in this whole business to sell some photographs and not be a starving artist!!
I never knew that Jerry Garcia was missing part of a finger until someone mentioned it and I looked at my photographs of this show. This proves that you don't need all of your fingers to play great guitar!
Enjoy some photographs from a great show that I remember being a very long performance. The Grateful Dead was known for playing long shows. They frequently went into long jam sessions.
If my memory serves me correctly this was a two night show.
Have a great week.
Thanks,

On December 5, 1973, The Beach Boys headlined a show with The New Riders of the Purple Sage at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin.
It was a cold, wintery, snowy night in Wisconsin, but The Beach Boys turned up the heat! It was a great show for a big crowd.
Enjoy some photos of that evening. Next week we will have the opening act of this show, The New Riders of the Purple Sage!
Have a nice week and join me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography if you haven't already.

Almost forgot my blog today!! It has been a very busy weekend with moving my Mom and going through lots of old stuff. Found my Dad's Army papers and his U. S. Army uniform!
Back to my rock'n'roll world here and we are looking at REO Speedwagon from a show at UW Oshkosh on September 4, 1972. They played with the Brian Lee Band and a band called Flash from England outside at UW Oshkosh.
REO Speedwagon is coming to Summerfest on June 28th with Babe Ruth opening the show. Should be an awesome show with 2 great bands I have not seen in years.
Enjoy some photos from a nice day for an outside concert.
Have a great week.
Thanks,
