As the band's private jet taxied in at the Reading Municipal Airport, Jim Jones had "a convoy of [limos] waiting, lined up behind a beat-up old jeep that would lead them into town. Jerry Garcia, mellow and giggling, didn't head for the limos. He hopped in the jeep. 'No,' Jones said, embarrassed. 'We got a limousine for you.' 'That's okay,' Garcia said, not budging."
