  • Blissfully Clarenceless on Market Street: JGB at the Warfield, December 1, 1989

    LN jg1989-12-01.jgb.all.aud-bk4011.141459.flac1648 God, ’89 was such a great year for the Jerry Band.

Patched out of Yamaguchi/Poris and a set of modded Nak 700s. Someone speculates in notes whether a 3rd mic is operating, because Phil. And, yes, Straw ambling out, and – Phil. And, drums.

I assumed immediately this was 2/15/68, partly, I am sure, in hope that this means that the Quick sets from the Pacific Northwest Tour were taped. Hamina hamina. That said, I don’t see any reference to Quick guys in the various reports of this gig. ! deadlists: http://deadlists.com/deadlists/showresults.asp?KEY=2/15/68 !…
