Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Rocks Moscow on Soviet Tour
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the only American rock group to tour the Soviet Union, played to 1,500 Muscovites in Moscow after a three week tour of smaller cities. Tickets rose to eight dollars, with black market prices up to six times higher. The band taped a show for Soviet television before the performance and adapted its set for varied audiences in Riga, Yerevan, and Leningrad. The State Department sponsors the tour, paying about 2,300 dollars per concert, with modest profits projected for the group.
