Notes
  • Nichtern opened with his own band (the Nocturnes, I presume), which included Hank DeVito on steel, Larry Jones on bass, and Claude Pepper on drums. Nicolette Larson sang some. Maria sat in with them. "She next sang and played violin" with GAMB. That included Richard Greene, David Grisman, Ellen Kearney (rhythm guitar, vocals), John Carlini (guitar), Joe Carroll. Fierro sat in with GAMB for a tune! Third group was Maria's backing band: Merl Saunders, Paul Humphrey, John Kahn, Jerry Garcia, Martin Fierro. The setlist is unordered.
  • This was part of the Dharma Festival - Final event of the Dharma Festival. Benefit for Padma Jong, a center for the performing arts on the Eel River. See Barb 10/18-24/74, p. 10, which mentions Maria and Garcia taking part in it, in Berkeley.
