Sue: Band got $12,500 guarantee, plus 70% over $21,500 (not triggered) plus $2,500 for sound and lights, on gross potential of $25k. From Foster review we infer 3,200 attended and 8,600 capacity. But contract makes it clear that capacity is 5,000.

review: [positive] Don Foster, "Garcia Great Four Hours," Daily Collegian, December 14, 1977, p. 16 ("I'd swear if there was some way of putting a tracer into his vibrations you would see them travel through his body to his fingertips, out to his guitar, and then into the audience")
