My First Show!
Don't remember specifics, but Viola Lee Blues and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue were played. My impressions were that Jerry's leads were choppy--I kept waiting for him to take a long, soaring lead and he never did. Also, they mixed the lead singing up quite a bit--Jerry, then Phil (he did a lot of singing then), the Bob, then Pigpen. This was a great venue, too bad it didn't last long.
Location
This was my first show! I have a few small remembrances--Viola Lee Blues was great, they seemed to rotate between singers a lot--Phil sang more songs then. Jerry's playing/lead phrasing seemed choppy--no long,soaring leads during those days. And It's All Over Now, Baby Blue was sweet.
this was a great smaller venue, too bad it didn't last long!
