5 THE
NEVER-ENDING TOUR CONTINUES
The
Never-Ending Tour rolled on with 86 new shows, all pretty much the same as in
1995, 1994 and 1993. Same band, same songs and same format. The only change was
that drummer Winston Watson quit after the summer tour in Europe and was
replaced by David Kemper from the Jerry Garcia band.
The 1996 part
of The Never-Ending Tour consisted of three new "legs":
|
April-May |
US &
Canada |
27 shows |
|
June-July |
Europe |
28 shows |
|
October-November |
US |
28 shows |
The Nomura
show in February and the Olympic Games shows in Atlanta, Georgia in August must
also be considered part of the Never-Ending Tour.
