On Saturday, August 23, 1969 - one week after Woodstock - the Grateful Dead headlined the Bullfrog festival in rural Columbia County, Oregon. Its story is a small mirror of the era's larger festival chaos. A festival billed as "Bullfrog 2" had been advertised for the Columbia County Fairgrounds in St. Helens, with a scarce first-printing poster promising the Dead, Taj Mahal, and more, dated 08/21/69 (the poster date, preserved in this record's catalog id; the artifact per the collector and Columbia County Museum records). Days before, a circuit judge shut it down - the fairgrounds, he ruled, lacked the camping, sanitation, and traffic control the crowd would need (per the Columbia County Museum's account). Thrown together in roughly two days, the event relocated to a farm near Yankton - "Bullfrog 3" - and the Dead played it on the 23rd to a crowd of several thousand, with the young New Riders of the Purple Sage on the same bill, Garcia doubling on pedal steel (the Aug 23 Dead performance and the relocation corroborated on dead.net and setlist.fm; a soundboard of the show circulates). Because Bullfrog 3 was improvised in a weekend, the surviving printed artifact is the cancelled Bullfrog 2 poster; its designer is not identified in any reachable source, and is recorded here as an honest gap. (Two dates attach to this record and both are correct: 08/21 is the poster's printed date for the cancelled fairgrounds show; Aug 23 is the day the Dead actually played, at the relocated farm. The venue field carries the fairgrounds - the cancelled/poster location - and the farm relocation is flagged for the human.)
