What days of the year have the GD not played?

Forums:

January 9th

December 25th

You will find that Jerry has played on all the scared dates we come up with here.

That band did not play on thanksgiving

But has played on Easter Sunday 

I am pretty sure I was at an Easter Sunday show at Nassau coliseuem 

 

Those are holidays that change dates.

Yes

Which makes your job more difficult 

But still needs to be done to wrap this thread up in a bow 

 No shows out of 7 leap days. 

I am pretty sure I was at an Easter Sunday show at Nassau<

I was there.  Iffy on the year, tho'.  81?  82?

I think 2 Easter Sundays there.

One of which had both biblical songs,  the greatest story ever told and Samson and Delilah. 

The band had a couple of February tours canceled due illnesses. 

Don't think they played on February 16 of any year off The top of my head

 

2 Shows Found

02/16/88- Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium - Oakland, CA

 

Found this on Reddit:

They played a few Easter Sundays.  The Spectrum, 1985 was another one.
