On lead guitar and vocals, Mr. Jerry Garcia

Bill Graham:

Good evening. We welcome you, on behalf of the group. We should introduce … We should thank United Artists and Mr. Ron Rakow. I should make it official. Mr. Rakow is the President of Round Records. He asked if I could be here this evening, and I said ‘I’d like twelve dollars and fifty cents’, which he paid me at the door, and we flipped double or nothing, and I won, and he wanted to flip again, so I’m being paid fifty dollars for being here. I want to thank him very much.

On the piano we have Mr. Keith Godchaux [electric piano] … on the drums, on stage left, Mr. Mickey Hart [drums begin] … on bass and vocals, Mr. Philip Lesh [bah-doomp-bah-doomp bah-doohhhom] … on rhythm guitar and vocals, Mr. Bob Weir [Bob filligrees a little top knot] … on the drums on stage right, Mr. Bill Kreutzmann [tss-ts-tss, tss-ts-tss] … on the vocals Mrs. Donna Jean Godchaux … on lead guitar and vocals, Mr. Jerry Garcia … will you welcome, please, the Grateful Dead!

Update: Jesse Jarnow and I are on the same wavelength!
