September 20, 2011, Monterey, CA. The Monterey County Fair has announced that its website, www.montereycountyfair.com, has received over 122,000 hits this past year. It was recently learned by Kelly Violini, CEO of the Monterey County Fair, that over 5,500 hits on the website were from Furthur Furthur fans who were purchasing tickets for long-awaited performances by two of the Grateful Dead founding performers, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. Lesh and Weir had not appeared on the Monterey County Fairgrounds stage since Jimi Hendrix burned his guitar at the legendary Monterey Pop Festival at the Fairgrounds in 1967.
Furthur fans used the Monterey County Fair website to purchase tickets to the two upcoming concerts that will be held on Friday and Saturday, October 7 and 8, 2011 in the Pattee Arena of the Monterey County Fairgrounds. There are millions of Grateful Dead fans around the world and they even have their own satellite channel on Sirius XM Channel 23. The legions of tye-dye-clad “Dead-heads” of all ages will surely be dancing at the Monterey County Fairgrounds at the two concerts in early October.
