Notes
  • Davis (1973) supplies the bulk of the tunes, while McGuinn (1973) supplies Dixie Down and attendee Bill G supplies "Lonely Avenue". The songs are not certainly from this show, and they are presented here unordered.
  • exante: Hilburn 19730519: "The Ash Grove has initiated a long, ambitious series spotlighting the vitality and influence of black music in America. ... On the way: Merl Saunders (with Jerry Garcia, May 29-30)".
  • Handbill also names George Tickner, but he is not on the one tape from this run, and b.m. review explicitly mentions quartet.
  • review: [undetermined show] b.m. 1973 finds the quartet, "sloppy and unrehearsed" as a group, but individuals giving "exact, tight and clean" solos.
  • JGMF: Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, Ash Grove, May 1973, noting that historical datings of the one set in circulation as 5/23/73 cannot be correct.
