review: [positive] Bacon 1977: misdates in the led as 12/9; notes sellout
expost: McClusker 1977: Jerry and gang acted like prime donne. Contracts rolled in late. (There is some evidence of revision on the contracts we have seen.) JG demanded 60 backstage passes, $600 for food (Cy Kocis – see also 11/29/77). Mike Bronzino, Concert Chairman, refused to give in on the last. Lloyd Kupferman, Chairman of the Program Board, "was literally knocked on the floor as a result of a blow from one of Garcia's crew, because of a difference of opinion". JG showed up in his limo at 6:30, then left immediately, complaining his room was too hot, brushing past staff with a "get the fuck out of my way". "We expected Jerry Garcia," Bronzino said, "but what we got was Marilyn Monroe".
