CommentThis performance is sometimes misdated 07-28-78; The drummer Jeff Simon has confirmed that this show took place on the 27th and NOT the 28th. This makes total sense when you listen to George during the show and he mentions that it's a Thursday night which was the 27th. They played two shows that week there, the 26th and 27th, NO 28th.

* The Nighthawks were playing a gig across the street at a
place called Desperados at the same time the Destroyers were playing
here at the Cellar Door. The Destroyers and the Nighthawks were playing "Madison Blues" at the exact same time, so George and Jimmy Thackery (lead guitar and vocals for the Nighthawks) walked out of their own gigs, passed each other in the street and joined with the other band. Both George and Jimmy sang a few verses and soloed a bit with the opposite band and returned to their own gigs to finish out the song!!!
