Notes
  • Rex and Betty ran two sets of reels this night for the first time as far as we know, one to his Revox and one to her Nagra.
  • JGMF: Summertime in January: The Merle sic Saunders Experience, January 15, 1973 at the Inn of the Beginning
  • This Sunday-Monday pair of shows at the Inn was unadvertised. The Inn's monthly calendar had Sunday as TBA and didn't even list Monday - probably usually dark. The 1/15 tape has circulated since the late 1990s, but the 1/14 show was unknown until JGMF discovered it in Mark Braunstein's ledgers. Per that source, the band got 90% of the door (originally written as 100%, crossed out). Not that there was reason to doubt, but Bill Vitt as drummer also confirmed by Sarah & Friends blurb in March 1973 IOTB newsletter.
