"Between 1971 and 1995 the Grateful Dead played 27 shows in North Carolina — that’s Charlotte (12), Greensboro (7), Durham (5), Chapel Hill (2), Raleigh (1).
This concert flyer isn’t fancy, but it’s packed with useful Charlotte-specific info for itinerant Deadheads, including North Carolina’s ban on nitrous oxide."

I'm not familiar with the first Dead Show in Chapel Hill. Very aware of the one in 1994.

I had no clue about the first
 
Not sure if any of you fellow olds have been there, but Lapin Blue in Chapel Hill is a pretty awesome little spot. Live jazz most every night, and you can bring food in so we get Als and sometimes IP3 to munch on.

The owner (Mike) grew up here and is a really nice guy. Stop by if you have the time, good to support local biz.

I certainly haven't been there enough. Mike's certainly been around and all about over the years. Great photographer.
