Notes
  • Opening for GD. Chris C: "I was involved with a float at this show so ... I got to see the soundcheck with Ornette and Jerry, and it smoked. They played Three Wishes a few times, and each one was totally different. ... I came in from the tunnels where we were building the floats and no one was around to ask me to leave so I just kept going until I was at the back of the arena. I went to the section directly behind the soundboard, took a seat and enjoyed, keeping a low profile as to not attract the wrong kind of attention. Ornette was doing his thing for a few minutes, then Jerry showed up in his sportjacket and plugged in a started to tune. He played a few lines with Ornette, then it all stopped. Ornette went over to Jerry, they spoke for a few minutes then broke into Three Wishes. They played the song (or parts of it) 3 times over the next 15 minutes. Jerry was all smiles. They finished, Jerry hugged Ornette and the check was over. I went back to work on the float."
