Notes
  • Serious venue confusion. We have historically listed this as Boarding House, following all of the listings and ads that we identify below. But in the Denver Post piece from a few weeks later (Brown 1979) JK does mention them having played Sacto and, even more importantly, there is a contract dated 3/17/79 for the gigs (two nights, one two-set show each) at the Oasis, which is how we now list it here.
  • listing: [contra] Bay Area Reporter, March 15, 1979, p. 21; ever-sassy, the BAR lists "et another Jerry Garcia Band with Merle [sic] Saunders and John Kahn on board. As missable, or essential, as the spirit indicates." Contra because lists Boarding House, early and late shows.
  • listing: [contra] Argus-Courier (Petaluma, CA), March 16, 1979, p. 5C; Contra because lists Boarding House, early and late shows.
  • ad: [contra] San Francisco Sunday Examiner and Chronicle Datebook, March 18, 1979, p. 26. Contra because lists Boarding House, early and late shows.
