GD: August 30, 1970, "Calebration"

I always loved the "Calebration" thing dated 8/30/70. My favorite Candyman, a really great Easy Wind. There's also video out and about that gives a very rare glimpse of the GD of this period (though, I do wonder if that QMS video has made it into the world?).

But, I think the set we know was not actually recorded on August 30, 1970. John L. Wasserman's August 28, 1970 "On the Town" column in the San Francisco Chronicle --he had replaced Ralph J. Gleason in that space on June 15, 1970, when Gleason left his regular column at the Chron for a desk at Fantasy Records-- says that various bands' sets "have been taped" (1). So this material is from sometime prior to 8/28/70, and was broadcast on August 30th.



For The Record, and all that.
