this may 22nd 1981 performance
John Kahn played bass (standup), as this was an ENTIRELY acoustic performance. I'm sure it was a benefit of some kind. There was a stand-up comedian before the set and I remember he launched into a joke about radioactive cockroaches living in the towers at Three Mile Island, and the collective mind balked at the imagery and booed the guy to near tears. His last words before departing the stage were;"Tell Jerry I say hi." , and I turned to my buddy and we both winced for the guy, but the acid that night was too good and came on too strong to wanna trip on radioactive cockroaches. Of course Uncle Bobo came out next to tell us what a bunch of assholes we were and nobody could endure that with a straight face as we all laughed back at him from up in the balcony. I've got a million of 'em. Stories, I mean.
