  • lostlivedead: May 19, 1979: The Old Waldorf, San Francisco, CA: Reconstruction/Horslips. Corry: "(May 18) Horslips had played a short half hour set at 8:00pm, the standard arrangement at the Old Waldorf, and then Garcia's group had not come until nearly eleven. Reconstruction then played so long that there was no time for Horslip's late set."
