Notes
  • JGC commenter Eric Blond and other attendees report that there were two shows this night, and we used to list it that way, but upon a further review of the tour itinerary, we now think there was just one show each night.
  • Jerrygarcia.com entry for the show. Commenter Jim Russell reports that "When the show started, Jerry asked if any kids would like to sit on the floor up front, it was so cool seeing Jerry smile when lots of kids came up and sat on the floor around him while he played."
  • Recollex: Anonymous comments at JGMF: "Ken Kesey, wearing one of those goofy tuxedo t-shirts from the '80s, gave one of the best band intros I've seen. He popped out from behind the curtain and apologized for the band being late because of the prison gig. He vamped for a bit then poked his head behind the curtain to see if the band was ready. Nope. So to kill time he had the audience do an old "hippie trick." He instructed us to cross our arms in front of our chests and join hands with the persons sitting next to us. Then he told us to take several deep breaths and on the last one, we were told hold it which, he explained, would make us pass out. Even though this wasn't the '60s anymore, the audience went along with it. Kesey led us, his arms crossed across his barrel chest, loudly counting out all the breaths. When he got to the last one we held it for maybe two seconds when the curtain shot open and Jerry and band [sic] launched into their first song."
