Notes
  • Gold Rush Productions Presents. $1,500 guar plus 50% gross over $4,500. May have been changed after the fact to $1,350 flat. Crew got $200, Paul Pena got $20, beer was $10, regular band members got $250 each, Martin got $120.

It seems like the promoters took a huge bath on this - maybe only 300 tickets sold?
  • set II probably incomplete, as Ed Perlstein's reel-to-reel deck got unplugged from the board during Mystery Train. He had been allowed to patch out on 11/4/73 (OAITW), and then 1/19/74, 2/5/74, and 2/9/74 with Garcia Saunders. So, endeth, with this pulling of the plug, this set of recordings. Thanks, as always, to Ed for sharing his tapes with the world. Now go check out his photographs!
