Stu Nixon’s first G.D. show was June 22, 1969, in Central Park. He moved to the Bay Area in the 1980s and worked in the biotech industry, but his real passion was for the Dead. In 1986, he was invited to join with Mike Dolgushkin and John W. Scott to work on a list of Dead concerts, which turned into the truly massive pile of songs, places, and concerts called DeadBase.
