Andrew F. finds a Jerry Garcia Band recording on e-bay and In July of 2018 he shares it at LL mentioning that "there are no other known recordings of this show".
Turns out this was one of our recordings and Allen was able to find the master cassettes and send them to me.
Thanks to Andrew as I was not aware that we made the only recording of this show.

Not a "hi-fidelity" stereo capture but it is nice and clear without a lot of distortion and direct from the master tapes transferred using quality equipment.
And may I add, with love and care as this was the first time I saw Jerry play.

We should have brought a 3rd cassette.
By the second set we knew we were going to run out of tape so we started using the pause button between songs.
This resulted in us missing the beginning notes of the next song.
As it was we still ran out of tape and that's me signing off as the clear leader started to unwind.

Performed an end to end clean-up of bumps, clunks & clicks using iZotope RX6 advanced.
Reduced loud clapping, whistling and chatter where possible.
Spot repairs so just the loudest noises were removed.

Spliced tape flips and blended the places where Allen was a moment slow at releasing the pause button.
Inserted additional applause from the first set to smooth out some of the abrupt breaks in the second set.
No eq or noise reduction was used on this.

Special thanks go out to Allen Tarzwell for sending me his masters
Thanks to Cathy and Dulcy for putting up with us recording the show and ignoring them.

Ticketmaster made "Gary Garcia Band" tickets for this show and a copy is included.
Thanks to JGMF for supplying the "stultifying turtles" show review from the L.A. Free Times.

Trivia fun: This was the last JGB show before the GD's hiatus came to an end.
