Head of Dead to play Jerry Garcia, leader of the Grateful Dead, will appear June 5 in a solo acoustic concert. Jerry Garcia, Eugene's favorite musical personality, is coming. Garcia, leader of the Grateful Dead, will return to Eugene June 5 for an all-acoustic solo concert at the South Eugene High School Auditorium. Part of the proceeds from the show will go to County Commissioner Jerry Rust's gubernatorial campaign. Garcia will do the concert without electric instruments or the rest of the group because of problems that have surrounded some of the Dead's lastest performances in Eugene, said Nicki Scully, the promoter of the concert. Some of these problems include neighbors’ complaints about volume levels during a con cert held in Autzen Stadium in the spring of 1979, and extremely poor conditions in McArthur Court during a concert last summer. Because of these problems, Garcia is avoiding the electric rock image of the Grateful Dead. Extreme Garcia fans (also lovingly known as Dead-Heads) will be interested to know that Garcia will appear June 4 at the Neighbors of Woodcraft Hall in Portland for two shows at 7 and 10 p.m Tickets for the Eugene concert go on sale April 30, and will be available ai the Springfield Creamery, Everybody’s Records, Earth River Records, and are tenatively planned to be on sale at the EMU Main Desk.
