Notes: Direct transfer of the original master reel. Previously uncirculated (as of October 2015). The last track is incomplete. Unknown if additional songs were performed, but its doubtful, since this was an early show. Contrary to previous publications, this is the second to last performance of "Ballad Of You, Me & Pooneil," with the final performance occurring during the late show, which was also recorded. Previous publications also indicate that Papa John Creach's debut with the group occurred at Winterland a few weeks prior. I'm skeptical of that since there is no documented evidence of him performing until the next night in Witchita, KS. Both the late show from this night and the Witchita performance from the following night were also recorded by the same taper using the same equipment. Both of those shows will also be forthcoming.  -Alan Bershaw

Notes: Direct transfer of the original master reels. An incomplete recording of unknown lineage has circulated for decades, but this complete recording (90 minutes) has never previously circulated (as of October 2015). This is the earliest documented evidence of Papa John Creach on a Jefferson Airplane performance. That being the case, this may be the debut of "John's Other." Track 12 is a blues based instrumental showcasing Creach, with some similarities to "String Jet Rock" and may be an embryonic precursor to that song, which is why I titled it "String Jet Jam" for lack of a better title. Like the two shows from the previous night, this is a relatively lo fi recording with the taper stop/starting the deck between songs, but the performance is strong and quite unique in places, including an extended version of "Volunteers" to close the show. The venue (previously unknown) was the Cotillion Ballroom and the tickets were general admission.  Big thank you to my old buddy Rob Berger for helping me share these recordings 45 years after the fact.  -Alan Bershaw

notes: 
Not to be confused with PCRP's release #4 of this evening's
late show, this is the early show also taped by Ken & Judy. 

I've seen in databases a track listed after "Dresses". 
On the raw transfer tape you can hear that it was filler 
from an LP and was deleted. 

local act E. Pluribus Unum opened the show. 

disclaimer: the sound quality changes after the first song
and not for the better. Good stereo but somewhat distorted.
Warts and all, I think this seed is the best it's going 
to get for the early show. 

I've included a pdf file of a review of the show from a
college newspaper which paints quite a picture of the 
evening's festivities.

Many thanks to JJ Hance.

Enjoy,
Rob - april 2012
