Notes
  • JGMF: Second Night Out for Liz and Essra: JGB, Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, June 25, 1981
  • Lesh replaces Kahn on bass; Saunders sits in on first two numbers, almost sounds like Melvin was late.
  • Very interesting use of Grateful Dead marketing. This is almost like a "GD Three Ways" kind of feel. See preview title. The listing has a picture of Jerry with caption about "Jerry Garcia and friends", and listing identifies Hart. Clearly planned and sold around Garcia, Lesh, etc. Kahn was in Europe traveling with his mom.
