Love this image of Jerry’s face on a locomotive.
The show didn’t do that much for me, though I do give rare praise to Dixie Down.
Reviewer paints a picture of the Dirty F$%^ing Hippies and assorted others:
The dressing room backstage at the Auditorium Theater [sic] has that lived-in look. The air is thick with various kinds of smoke. Cigarette butts litter the floor. On two long tables in a corner the remains of a catered meal are decaying. There are a lot of people hanging around who found the meaning of life in 1967. They look a little worn around the edges. Hells Angels in greasy and tattered denim are stomping around in pointed-toe boots. Beefy security guards eye them, nervously.
Jerry Garcia’s in town.

JGMF:
! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; # = truncated timing; { } = time as tracked on this recording; [ ] = recorded even 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.
! db: this is the only circulating tape of this show as of 11/18/2017.
