  • expost: Selvin 19750622: benefit to support a jailhouse radio station flopped badly, losing the sponsoring org $3k or more. "Probably 800 to 1,200 customers rambled about in the 7,000-plus seat hall".
  • expost: Wasserman 19750817: doesn't mention JGMS, leading with CJ, and says the whole event was put on by amateurs and was an unmitigated disaster - BASS sold only 227 tickets. Selvin says 800-1200 "customers rambled about in the 7,000-plus seat hall" and the charitable beneficiary lost a ton of money.
