Notes
  • ad: Sunday Oregonian, May 16, 1982, p. 21;
  • Reverend Chumleigh recollex: "My opening performance for the Garcia solo tour (perhaps John Kahn was his bass player?) was at the Woodsmans hall in Portland, on the third floor. There was a Mormon wedding one floor below us. Kesey was NOT there. There were two shows both two hours late, but luckily for the crowd waiting outside there was a liquor store on the corner. Roberto Morganti, and incredible Unibrow Juggler was to do five minutes, Moz Wright, Sword Swallower/fire breather was to do five minutes, and I was to do 45 minutes. It all went horribly wrong because no one producing the show cared about anything but Garcia, who remained in hiding (I suspect shooting up as well(). We didn't actually see him except on stage for the whole tour. Opening night, a very scarey guy jumped up on stage and acted in a threatining manner despite Garcia's large Gorilla Biker bodyguard who just let him do it. My first words to him (the guy who jumped on stage) was "Full Moon tonight, isn't it?" (and it was) He grew angry, and I said "You're lucky I'm not Jerry Garcia because you'd be dead by now, and not grateful". He advanced on me and I kept beseeching the bodyguard who was standing at the foot of the stage to do something, and he didn't, so I picked up my brass goose head walking stick and began to do my Kindo exercises with it and the guy backed off and left the stage. I was to put it mildly, fucking furious."
