Notes
  • Handbill bills "Reconstruction with Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders and John Kahn".
  • Special guest is Maria Muldaur, doing a couple of numbers from her new record, and harmonizing on "Telling My Friends". She may be on other numbers as well. Swanee River (Old Folks at Home) noodling by Kahn and then Garcia before "Telling My Friends". We are not sure about the title "So Far From Time" - it sounds like a Ron Stallings original, but we really can't find information on it.
