  • Expost: "Police nab man on Pavilion drug sale," Concord Transcript, October 20, 1975, p. 1. "A NY transient apparently trying to recoup his losses". Anthony Iraconi had bought some fake acid and was trying to get himself whole by ripping others off. Pavilion manager John Toffoli said this was the first Pavilion drug bust (it had just opened) and that JG crowd of 5,700 was generally well-behaved.
  • Review: [negative] Tolces 19751122
  • Review: [negative] Dym and Alson 1976: "This group becomes more lifeless with each performance. … Nicky Hopkins is [a] liability. While he is an excellent musician, every time he opens his mouth to sing, he starts digging the group into a hole. The Concord show was the worst effort I've ever seen by any group Garcia has ever been a part of. 'Mystery Train', 'Money Honey', 'Tough Mama', 'Let It Rock' … all are just lifeless shadows of their former selves."
