  • review: [mixed] Alkon 1977. Overall, he liked the show. Misidentifies drummer as Tutt. Didn't like the "irritating" 75 minute intermission. "Outraged" by a five and a half hour concert (8-1:30) with three hours of music: "When Keith and Donna sat down on the piano bench for a smoke and fifteen minute chat I felt like I was invading their privacy! I realize that a group needs frequent breaks, but the Garcia Band abused the privilege, showed disrespect for their audience, and unprofessionalism."
