Notes
  • review: [negative] Martin 1979, supplying the tunes we list. Garcia and Kahn were so late arriving that Merl and crew started the show without them. They arrived midway through the opener.
  • Despite all the venue confusion (contrary listings showing Reconstruction at the Boarding House), it is now confirmed that these shows took place at the Oasis in Sacto.
  • listings: [contra: venue] Bay Area Reporter, March 15, 1979, p. 21; ever-sassy, the BAR lists "yet another Jerry Garcia Band with Merle [sic] Saunders and John Kahn on board. As missable, or essential, as the spirit indicates." | [contra: venue] Argus-Courier (Petaluma, CA), March 16, 1979, p. 5C
  • ad: [contra: venue] San Francisco Sunday Examiner and Chronicle Datebook, March 18, 1979, p. 26
