Notes
from McNally's Long Strange Trip: They began their run backing up Cornell Gunther and the Coasters, and for the first set their rhythm guitarist was a guy named Terry, who taught them the songs. It was not really necessary for Garcia, who loved the Coasters and knew the material. Weir took the slight in seeming good humor, watching Terry so closely that he not only learned the chords but absorbed unconsciously how to cue a band with the neck of his guitar as a baton. From then on, when he sang a song, he became the bandleader, a democratic development not common to most bands. "We knew Weir could cut it then," said Lesh. "And after that it went much better, of course."
deadessays: Deadbase Corrections "The Warlocks played five sets a night, six nights a week, for six weeks. They likely played from mid-September to late October. Initially they backed Cornell Gunter & the Coasters, playing Coasters songs."
An item in the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) Local No. 6's in-house newspaper, Musical News vol. 48 no. 12 (December 1965) has Garcia registering Warlocks gigs at the Chalet Inn Room for five musicians, six nights per week beginning October 12th.
