I think this was part of the early history of the current
Stonehenge festival. When you bought tickets you got a
tarot card which you wore around your neck on a string.
That was your ticket. The place was outdoors in rural
PA. I remember a house and and perhaps a barn. There was
a pig roast. Everyone camped out. I remember that the
outhouse became so bad that we would go down the road to
Zinns Diner to use the bathroom.

This is the early version of Solar with Steve Greene and
Brad Hall. More cover songs, less originals. The set list
includes a lot of dead/jgb related covers, as well
as some other interesting covers ("Gimme Three Steps" and
"Walk on The Wild Side" the Lou Reed Song.) They played 3
long sets totaling 4 hours. This will fit (barely) on 3
cds. The drastic change in sound at the end of "Into Tomorrow"
is caused by some out of control spinner crashing into
the soundboard. The board was set up on a table and almost
slid off.

The Fast Lane was a typical sleazy Jersey shore bar.
Actually probably more sleazy than most. It was dark,
dank and disgusting. I remember a central bar and the seating
area made of large carpeted steps. It was the kind of place
that was better experienced with VERY dim lighting and had
none of the seedy appeal of the Court Tavern.

Above is my best guess as to the lineup. The setlist is
dominated by Dead covers, but there are a couple of 
interesting songs with the addition of Sue Cohen (former
wife of Steve Greene) on vocals. "The Core" is the Clapton
song from Slowhand with Sue and Mark trading vocals. "White
Rabbit" builds gradually to a fantastic climax with Sue doing
her best Grace Slick. "Heartbeat Rhythm and Time" is one of
my favorite early Solar songs and I was very happy to find
a version on this tape. "Path To Your Heart" is an early
Solar Original with Steve on vocals. Finally, I've always
loved the way Mark played "Legalize It".

Typical Sunday night at the Jersey Shore.

Another great weekend at the Arrowhead. This one is especially
nice as it includes Buddy Cage on Pedal Steel, Sue Cohen on
vocals and even an unknown flute player on some songs. The rest
of the lineup above is my best guess. They played 3 sets on Saturday
night and then played another set on Sunday around noon. They played
the Saturday night sets inside and the Sunday set outside on a cement patio
over by the pool. Between the Saturday and Sunday sets they played
over 4 hours and 40 minutes.
