• Gold Rush Productions Presents. $1,500 guar plus 50% gross over $4,500. May have been changed after the fact to $1,350 flat. Crew got $200, Paul Pena got $20, beer was $10, regular band members got $250 each, Martin got $120.

It seems like the promoters took a huge bath on this - maybe only 300 tickets sold?

• set II probably incomplete, as Ed Perlstein's reel-to-reel deck got unplugged from the board during Mystery Train. He had been allowed to patch out on 11/4/73 (OAITW), and then 1/19/74, 2/5/74, and 2/9/74 with Garcia Saunders. So, endeth, with this pulling of the plug, this set of recordings. Thanks, as always, to Ed for sharing his tapes with the world.
