Notes:
A friend calls up and says, "Hey, you goin' to the Fat Jerry show up at SF State?" 
Huh?  What?  When?
"Yea, this afternoon, like in about 2 hours"
What? 2 hours?? The show is in the middle of the day? Today?? You aren't kidding-- are you?
"Nope"

I was an E-4 in the Navy. I B Po" !!  Money is tight! I just did the 3 show run the prior weekend. This ain't cheap. The Fat Man may rock, but he has his fingers in my pockets at every turn!! Imagine the mad dash to go borrow the recorder/mics from a friend and assemble the ticket $$$ and find blank tapes. So off we went! We ended up getting in late and trying to record from under some overhang in the back. This joint was not one of the usual Keystones with hot spots to tape. The room was too cavernous to record up close and get a decent tape given the noisy crowd. Our late arrival is why I didn't get the first song and I was too loaded to get the "Pause" button in the correct spot!!  Hence the cut 2nd song.  Taping was an ancillary event. I was there because Jerry was playing. I assumed that is why we were all there! I did not see myself as "a taper". I was not one of the Nakamichi/D5 in-crowd. Besides, I had a military haircut ---an obvious narc! (that was seen at all the shows--- very mysterious.) I was there with the trusty little AIWA and el cheapo mics to get the recording so we could blast down the road and listen to the show again--- and then continue on with the party at home. This was all about having fun. As it turned out, I inadvertently became an archiver! Ha! This was not the best recording, but it will do given what has been available, but not to worry, there are more to come!!!
