Legion of Mary at 8162 Melrose, March 7, 1975

LN jg1975-03-07.lom.early.aud-ladner.23338.shn2flac

I wanted to hear "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game", the only circulating version from this time period, so I revisited the whole show. Nothing else jumped out at me, but man is that a great song.

JGMF:

! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; ... = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [m:ss] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the "real" time of the event. So, a timing of [m:ss] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! JGC: jerrygarcia.com/show/1975-03-07, giving this as the early show.

! JGBP: http://jerrygarciasbrokendownpalaces.blogspot.com/2012/07/ash-grove-pitchell-players-cabaret-8162.html. I guess this was the Ash Grove building, which was being leased for various performances, and eventually became the Improv. JGBP gives capacity as 250.

! metadata: Not clear if this is really the 8:30 PM early show (as per JGC), the 11:30 PM late show (as I have had it at some point), or some combo thereof. The LAFP listing on the day-of only gives an 8:30 show, from which I infer that the late show was already sold out.

! historical: band got $1,500 flat guarantee each night, so $750 per show.
