Late ’78 Kahn (JGB at Paramount Theatre, Portland, OR, October 26, 1978)
LN jg1978-10-26.jgb.all.aud-severson.148655.flac2496 Not a ton to report. Kahn sounded absolutely amazing on this tour. Really, all through 1978.

Punch in, mail it in for 90 minutes, punch out and party some more: JGB at the Cap Passaic, 11/26/77b
LNjg1977-11-26.jgb.late.anderson.85051.flac1644 Something told me I wanted to listen to something from the Cats Under the Stars– era sextet of Garcia, Kahn, Buzz Buchanan, Keith and Donna Godchaux, and Maria Muldaur, and I wanted it to be a recording I hadn’t made notes on. So, here’s what I found: 11/26/77, late show. psilo.com This is a…
