"Grateful Dead's Night Amidst Ann Arbor's Championship Riot: A 1989 Michigan Celebration"
Larry Mishkin reflects on his experience in 2024, discussing the success of the Michigan Wolverines in football and their celebration. He reminisces about the Michigan men's basketball team's 1989 championship and the Grateful Dead's subsequent concerts in Ann Arbor. The podcast features excerpts from the Grateful Dead's performances and shares anecdotes, including a story about Jerry Garcia and Bobby Weir getting stuck in an Ann Arbor celebration after a national championship win, highlighting the connection between the Grateful Dead and Michigan celebrations. The episode also pays tribute to a late friend and celebrates the recent success of the University of Michigan.
Larry's Notes:
Ann Arbor timeline for the first week of April, 1989:
April 1, 1989 – Hash Bash
April 3, 1989 – Michigan beats Seton Hall in Seattle to win NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament
April 5, 1989 – Grateful Dead play in Crisler Arena, home of the champion basketball team (first show in Ann Arbor since 1979)
April 6, 1989 – Grateful Dead play in Crisler Arena
When Michigan won the football national championship last week by beating Washington in Houston, made me think there is a history here – M wins a Natty and we play/go see live the Grateful Dead. Can’t break the chain now.

"Not Fade Away" is a song credited to Buddy Holly (originally under his first and middle names, Charles Hardin) and Norman Petty (although Petty's co-writing credit is likely to have been a formality[3]) and first recorded by Holly and his band, the Crickets.
Holly and the Crickets recorded the song in Clovis, New Mexico, on May 27, 1957, the same day the song "Everyday" was recorded.[1] The rhythmic pattern of "Not Fade Away" is a variant of the Bo Diddley beat, with the second stress occurring on the second rather than third beat of the first measure, which was an update of the "hambone" rhythm, or patted juba from West Africa. Jerry Allison, the drummer for the Crickets, pounded out the beat on a cardboard box.[3] Allison, Holly's best friend, wrote some of the lyrics, though his name never appeared in the songwriting credits. Joe Mauldin played the double bass on this recording. It is likely that the backing vocalists were Holly, Allison, and Niki Sullivan, but this is not known for certain.[1]
"Not Fade Away" was originally released as the B-side of the hit single "Oh, Boy!" and was included on the album The "Chirping" Crickets (1957). The Crickets' recording never charted as a single. In 2004, this song was ranked number 107 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time"
Covered by: Rolling Stones (1964, their first big hit)
The Rolling Stones' version of "Not Fade Away" was one of their first hits. Recorded in January 1964 and released by Decca Records on February 21, 1964, with "Little by Little" as the B-side, it was their first Top 10 hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number three.[5]London Records released the song in the US on March 6, 1964, as the band's first single there, with "I Wanna Be Your Man" as the B-side.[6] The single reached number 48 on the U.S. BillboardHot 100 singles chart.
