(I didn't get my 1st copy of Rob's complete recording until some time near the end of the year.) And I didn't actually meet him until exactly a year later at the U.C.S.B. Especially my all time favorite, yet short, but incredible rendition of, (yes, they played it much longer at for example, Winterland several times etc.) and despite the talking during the beginning : Fernario!! Check out how the drummers come thumping back to bring Jerry around for the next go round of the chord progression in the middle of the instrumental. Being in a group, naturally we had lame tickets.īut alas, we tripped on that not so bad recording all summer long, being the first time I had a recording of a show I'd actually attended. My friend John Redfern, who'd drove a bunch of us younger folks to the show, recorded most of this on a rinky-dink recorder from where we were (Loge on the right side) that is after we finally got thorough the traffic and inside midway through Tennessee Jed I remember I was handing over my ticket. I'd just graduated from Redondo (Beach) Union High. In my (our) particular case, we were late mostly due to the adjacent Hollywood Park Horse Race Track getting out at the same time as we were coming in. Or was it that much of the reserved floor seats were still empty after we got into the performance which had been going since 7:00 PM?

This is probably since the Forum in those days was rather strict about ending a show within curfew, ie. That is, a solid 3 hours + break, instead of them being the ones who, as many of you know, often were late! What I'm talking about is Weir saying, just before "Friend of the Devil" : "And next time we'll try a little harder to be on time". It seems to all here to me! Secondly, a little explaining here about what may seem now to be unimportant, but if you'll bare with me I think you can see that the following is very different from what later on was almost always the case. Rob Bertrando did a great job in the audience!įirstly, I don't know what you folks are talking about who mentioned missing tunes etc. By the way, for those of you who are looking for a board tape of this, to my knowledge Betty didn't record this one very unfortunately but like usual Dr.
