That week in April 1982, I was attending a writing conference at Asilomar Confrence Grounds in Pacific Grove, California. In the hallway of our Lodge a bunch of us formed a real line for an imaginary Jerry show. Rumor was he was going to play the Lodge that night at either the room known as the Lizard Lounge or the room called the Penguin Hutch, Jerry having just flown in that day from Tierra del Fuego.

I was there. The drive down
I was there. The drive down from the upstate NY shoe the night before (Syracuse or Rochester, I forget which) was Savage (bad weather, on the winding Route 17). I had a good tix for the early shoe only, the group I was with (we did the 1st part of the tour from Norfolk thru Nassau - it was spring break week & a blizzard had hit the east coast) had a scattering of tix for either 1 or the other, but no one had both. After the early shoe, a few of us were hanging out @ this really crappy bar that was blaring really bad hard rock from the jukebox (Van Halen, Kiss, Foreigner, etc), at that point I said "fuck it" & went back out on the street, scored a $10 tix just as the late shoe started, it was the very last seat in the theatre, back right corner, I actually fell asleep thru the several slow songs in a row midway thru the set, but I was the only one who got into both shoes. The next 2 nights @ Nassau Col (for Jerry he had to perform 5 nights in a row) felt really "flat"/"paint by numbers", I think Jerry really spent his wad this night . . .

I was at both shows (I recall Dr. John on solo piano opening?) and then the next night as well when Khan flew in to rescue Jerry from the solo experience. Gosh, where does the time goe--37 years, yikes! I miss the Capitol. What a great shithole and saw so many shows there

I don't know how it is now, but the NJ boys couldn't hold their liqueur and would often vomit inside this theater leaving large areas uninhabitable.

Bob, if you count the Letterman show, Jerry did 8 nights in a row. (Syracuse-Providence).

Yikes. Did Jerry not do one night solo at the Capitol and then the next night with him and Khan or am a losing it?

I was at the early show as well-rumored Jerry needed some quick cash and that's why he played solo?!

I never understood the attraction to these shows. IMO these were the "need quick cash to support the drug habit" tours. Musically they were just sub par at best and his guitar sounded terrible. Tony Rice could carry a show solo acoustic. Jerry, not so much. But by this point there were a lot of people who would accept anything.

Opinions are like assholes...
Opinions are like assholes....
These three sets featured some very rare material: Acoustic Going Going Gone, Stagger Lee, The Ballad of Casey Jones and It Takes a Lot to Laugh.
If you weren't there - you have a right to your opinion even if it is douchey as fuck.
For me it was amazing.

It looks like after Dead
It looks like after Dead spring tour finishes in Baltimore, Garcia heads back to NYC Beacon Theater for early/late shows for the very first Garcia/Kahn acoustic sets. Anyone remember this? It must have went over well because a few weeks later Garcia/Kahn play a set at Oregon State Prison followed by a weekend up In Oregon In June. Then seven date mini east coast Garcia/Kahn acoustic tour late June 82.

I remember the Palladium
I remember the Palladium shows that were benefits for Sandy Alexander of the Hells Angels

The Palladium show started
The Palladium show started very late, I think they had another act earlier in the evening.
Jerry & John did about 6 songs, Bo Diddley was on the bill, Robert Gordon was the final act after Garcia's set, well after midnight, and played while the building was quickly emptying out.

Garcia And Friends was a horror. Thankfully The Marshall Tucker Band played that same night in The Palladium and were awesome.
I remember seeing Garcia solo at The Beacon I thought it was 83 but coulda been 82. I really liked it and to hear him sing Sing Me Back Home was worth the price of admission

The first Jerry & John was
The first Jerry & John was either Tuesday or Wednesday at the Beacon after Baltimore ended the Spring Tour on a Monday.
The encore was with Dr John and played Good Night Irene, played for the first time since 1976 or 77 with JGB, probably the only time Garcia and the Dr shared a stage.

Jimmy Booker sang Goodnight
Jimmy Booker sang Goodnight Irene when Jerry Band played it in 76., so im thinking 4-21-82 was the first with Jerry on vocals.
