Sandy's recollection:
"Jerry came in -- it was my understanding that it was after a GD show. He sat 
up in the balcony with a couple of ladies and listened to probably about 
half of our last set. (He had a Black Russian in front of him, a drink he 
would frequently order and not always finish.) I'd been up there talking 
with them before the set; he said he'd come up and play. When we called him 
up, somebody produced a guitar, a Stratocaster (I think there was an amp 
already on the stage), and he came up and played the rest of that set with 
us. A bluegrass picker from the Bay Area who was going to NYU at the time, 
Tom Bekeny, also sat in (for all or part of the night), playing mandolin and 
some fiddle. Sean jammed with us on the last song; whether he'd played a solo 
set earlier, I don't recall. I'm pretty sure the original tape was made by the 
Lone Star's bartender, name unknown, who held up a small cassette deck as soon 
as he saw Garcia was going to play."

Thanks to Mike for graciously transferring the tape and to Sandy for 
information and context!
