In a BAM (magazine) review of a Grateful Dead concert in Irvine, California, on April 13, 1985, the writer wrote: “So-called adventuresome people who dig Black Flag probabably wouldn’t be caught alive at a Grateful Dead show“. This had Greg Ginn write a letter to BAM Magazine, explaining that he and other people of the Black Flag had attended the concert being reviewed, and that he himself had been to many Dead shows in the past, and that the Grateful Dead was his favourite band.
