Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Old Bridge Township Raceway Park" in English language version.
Over Labor Day weekend 1977, the Grateful Dead played a one-off gig at Englishtown, New Jersey's Raceway Park that drew over 125,000 fans to the facility (in his book A Long Strange Trip, Dennis McNally estimates attendance as 'more than 150,000'). Billed as the Summer's End Concert, the performance on Saturday, September 3, 1977, was the group's first show in nearly three months, and also featured opening sets from the Marshall Tucker Band and New Riders of the Purple Sage.
