The archive was assembled by the consignor over the course of fifteen years and is built directly off Monk's account: each piece is a tangible artifact corroborating a specific story detail in the book, from the cancelled dates the tour never reached to the venues it did, and the polaroids and backstage credentials of the people inside the operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe archive captures the full physical paper-trail of the tour. The cancelled-show tickets (Ivanhoe Theatre, Chicago, 31 December 1977; The Agora, Cleveland, 1 January 1978; Leona Theatre, Homestead PA, 28 December 1977, with corresponding backstage pass) document the dates councils and venue owners pulled at the last hour, when local pressure made the gigs untenable. The performed-date tickets (Great SouthEast Music Hall, Atlanta; Taliesyn Ballroom, Memphis; Randy's Rodeo, San Antonio; Longhorn Ballroom, Dallas; Cain's Ballroom, Tulsa; Winterland, San Francisco) form a complete sequence — the entire route the band actually played, ticket by ticket, between 5 and 14 January 1978.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo equivalent assembled archive of this period exists; to reproduce it would not be a practical possibility; the material has dispersed across five decades, and several of the cancelled venues no longer exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePROVENANCE:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the collection of Joshua White\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joopiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48502074605817,"sku":"JP0526023","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2783\/5385\/files\/JP0526023_01.jpg?v=1784038892","url":"https:\/\/shop.joopiter.com\/products\/us-tour-archive","provider":"Joopiter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
