-- Note - The band introduces itself before Homestead On The Farm:
D.Nelson(?): (cut) "..nk you very much. Uh, in case you don't already know, we're the Black Mountain Boys or the Black Mountain String Band -- the greatest bluegrass band since King Solomon's Mines. And over on the right hand side, we have Jerry Garcia, alias Dr. Car Stairs; and on the guitar, we have Eric Thompson..."
Garcia: "And here in the middle, kind fellow -- on stage, off stage, no matter where you happen to run into him -- is, uh, Ernie Bo-Peep on the mandolin here -- better known as David Nelson."
D.Nelson(?): "Jim Beemis on bass"
Garcia: "Schep."
