Notes:

I scoured all the usual places and was surprised to find this short but sweet board recording doesn’t seem to be in circulation.
On the two Garcia tunes, John Kahn is rather low in the mix so it almost sounds like Garcia solo.
The best part of this is the hot jam on “East West” featuring Butterfield, Bishop & Santana tearing it up together.
I assume other artists performed prior to these headliners, but this was all I had on my cassette.
I don’t know who was in the house band, but if anyone was there and recalls more band personnel info, please clue us in.
This was filler on the end of another recording, so I don’t have exact lineage, but the quality is quite good and its a very enjoyable listen.

Since Alan put this out I found out that the "house band" was The Doobie Brothers or at least some of them.
