From the WZLX ticket stash…The Grateful Dead was at the Boston Tea Party in 1969 … in ’77 the Marshall Tucker Band, Pure Prairie League, and Jonathan Edwards played the Providence Civic Center … That same night the Talking Heads played the Paradise Theater… and in 1999, J. Geils Band played a special reunion gig at the Orpheum to say goodbye to 1999!
