Notes
  • Various paperwork around these gigs is a little confusing. Sue, for the two shows: guarantee was $15,000, gross potential $50,900. Payout to JGB ended up as $21,693.16 after overages and such. Not clear if either or both should be considered sellouts - we take the total ticket sales and gross and divide by two.
  • Review: Gutman 1980.
