  • ads have opening act as Sharp Shooter (ex Allmans Johhny Johnson, LaMar Williams & Special Guests), but Clites review says it was "an LA-based singer named Rosie Flores, whose Elvis-like acoustic rockabilly has opened Garcia's shows for the last month and a half." She did six songs.
  • reviews: [negative] Hurst 1981, who hated the "dilatory, break-padded" show, with its "brownout-level" intensity | [positive] Clites 1981, mistakenly putting Nicky Hopkins on the piano.
