Peter Barsotti




Only in San Francisco - "Kids are fed up paying twenty-eight bucks to see one band." Peter Barsotti, on the Lollapalooza tour.

  • Peter Barsotti, Bill Graham's right-hand man, dies
  • Peter Barsotti's Memorial will be held on Sat. July 14th in Groveland's Mary Laveroni Park from 1-3p.m.
  • Peter Barsotti - The Last Waltz (documentary) (production coordinator: FM Productions) 
  • One of Peter's jobs for Bill Graham - In the portentous, fog-bleary summer of 1980, just before the presidential election of a man whose mug once graced movie posters (a time when the nation agreed: greed is good), dance-hall keeper Bill Graham made plans to commemorate two upcoming concert runs he was producing for his favorite band, the Grateful Dead, with two special-edition posters. These posters weren't for advertising purposes but would be sold to show-goers--"vanity" posters, as they're called in the collecting trade. Graham assigned Peter Barsotti, who worked for the impresario (and who still works for Bill Graham Presents, or BGP), and artist Dennis Larkins to design the new posters, which trumpeted a three-week series of shows across late September and early October by the Dead at the gaping old Warfield Theater on Market Street and a following similar series at New York's venerable Radio City Music Hall.
  • RIP Peter Barsotti
