Notes
  • Reviewer Ruchman says second show better. Donna Jean a little awkward and self-conscious when fronting the band", which implies we have "A Strange Man" (were there any other DJG lead vocals?). He also mentions FOTD followed by TWYDTTYD, and LAALWFH as the late show closer.
  • We think the circulating source (SHNID 29133) has a scrambled running order. We've moved things around to something move aligned with the Ruchman review. That made the early show very short, so marked as partial, but really we do not know.
  • preview: "Jerry Garcia to play here," Oberlin Review, February 26, 1976, pp. 1, 8: Social Board Chairman Jeff Libson wouldn't reveal the fee, but seemed confident that it'd work out. Apparently deal was finalized ca. 2/25/76 (could be 2/18) following three days of negotiations.
  • Sue: Wage agreed upon: $5,000 plus $1,500 light and sound, plus 60% gross receipts over $9,000. The last piece generated $808.50. Gross potential $12,000. Tix $3.50 general, $5 general. Boxoffice report makes it look like the band got $9,000, but I am not sure what to make of that.
