Deal: $12,500 guarantee, plus 65% of gross over $69,400, plus 85% of the difference between estimated expenses of $60,375 and actual expenses (not including band guarantee), plus 85% of revenues in excess of the net (post-5.6% tax) potential of $74,146 . Mo notes capacity of 10,541 and gross potential of $77,822, while Variety reports GP of $86k and gross of $35,800. In short, numbers are all over the place on this one.

  • ref: Grosswald and Blavat 1978; see JGMF reading notes.
  • review: [negative] McClintock 1978 - the headline, "Jerry Garcia's Band overplays tunes to boredom point", pretty much says it all
  • review: [positive] Damsker 1978 - likes the homespun grooves
  • review: [positive] Koshatka 1978 - not very informative
  • review: [positive] Aspen 1978: "leisurely and tight", "relaxed and intimate".
  • JGMF: Finally Busting out Cats at the End of the Cats Tour: JGB at the Philly Spectrum, March 16, 1978
