Notes
  • We are now 100% certain that the late show material circulated as "6/13/79" from Alan Bershaw's 2nd gen reels is correctly dated 6/23/79. It would have been very easy for the '2' to be replaced by a '1' somewhere along the generational chain.
  • Setlist order undertain. "Tellin' My Friends" does not appear on any circulating recordings.
  • JGMF: Casey Jones Used Cocaine
  • The various advertisements include among the players Merle [sic] Saunders and Kow [sic] Stallings.
  • ad: Press-Democrat (Santa Rosa, CA), June 21, 1979, p. 10B: Bummer for Jerry, trying to stay back as a sideman: his picture is on the ad!
  • preview: "Reconstruction Rocks at the River," Argus-Courier (Petaluma, CA), June 22, 1979, p. 3B: “Saturday’s concert is expected to be one of the last Sonoma County appearances for the group, as Garcia will soon be going into the recording studio to begin working on a new Grateful Dead album”.
  • listing: Argus-Courier (Petaluma, CA), June 22, 1979, p. 5B
  • JGMF: Quicky: I think Reconstruction 6/13/79 at the River Theater in Guerneville should be dated 6/23/79
