Notes
  • In terms of the set I setlist, "Limbo" comes from what's left of Don Wolfe's master audience recording (which was taped over), while "After Midnight" and "Knockin'" come from the Ozonewood review. That review also mentions a Rolling Stones tune in set I, and we are having a hard time imagining what it might have been. It doesn't seem like the reviewer saw set II, so that would rule out "Moonlight Mile". "Let's Spend The Night Together" is the only other Stones tune we can think of in this band's repertoire, and it is a possibility. If it is LSTNT, that would push the last known 70s performance out (from 1/28/76).
  • NB show promoted by Sue and Chuck Kesey (band itinerary). The band was to get "100% of all gross door receipts, minus promoters' expenses approved by artist and promoters' fee of $1,500." Gross potential $8,000. Sounds like they were arranging a little money help for Chuck Kesey and the Springfield Creamery. Steve Brown's note "Eugene - Tutt mother and father" in GDA - Tutt says not parents, but his daughter attended. A family affair. Ken K picked Jerry and band up from the airport.
