Notes
- This material circulates as 7/21/74, but this is the correct dating. The only memo in the history of the Institute for Jerry Garcia Studies establishes this beyond any reasonable doubt - what one of us calls ε. GD Archives had receipts showing that Betty bought a bunch of tape at Morrison's in Bereley this date. See "Financial: RR: Purchase Orders, 1975-1976" Grateful Dead Archive, Special Collections, UC Santa Cruz, MS.332.ser. 2, box 73, folder 8.
- JGMF: Pennies From Heaven: Listening to the Tape Known as JGMS 7/21/74
- listing: San Francisco Examiner, January 21, 1975, p. 20
- Nick: Jan 21-22, 1975 - or, the case of '7/21-22/74'
- JGMF: JGMS: 'July 21-22', 1974, Keystone, Berkeley, CA | JGMS January 21-22, 1975, Keystone, Berkeley
- All the billings and tapes say Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, but this is one where reversing the order could be justified, as this is some flavor of Aunt Monk / Merl Saunders Band.
