Nice tape, nice show. Bob Minkin took some nice photos this night, a bunch of tapers nailed it, the band sounds strong. This must have been a great, weird old room.

JGMF:
! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; … = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [ ] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the “real” time of the event. So, a timing of [x:xx] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! P: s1t04 TWLWMYD Jerry’s guitar in the first half of 5-minute mark is very good. Jimmy Warren solos next and he is not terrible.
! P: s1t05 MissMoon they miss the 1 to start, but it’s a nice version.
! P: s1t06 TUOY has some terrific guitar playing
! P: s1t07 TUIB the segue is really smooth, and TUIB starts with good energy.
! s1t07 (1) JG: “Thanks. We’re gonna take a break for a little while [inaudible].”
! P s2t01 ITAM Jerry great feeling! He is singing with enthusiasm, “what I’m gonna do” with a growl around 4:40 ish. Articulating his consonants … “feel brand new abouT iT.”
