Notes:
(1) Bob Gurland on mouth trumpet
Don’t be frightened by the uncertain lineage–this sounds
very nice. I would not be surprised if this turned out
to be MSR > cassette > DAT > CD, like the night previous
and as this one sometimes circulates.

The Jerry Site has listed Limehouse Blues as starting set II, but I hear continuous applause and tuning from the end of Methodist Preacher into Limehouse Blues, and continuous applause and tuning from Limehouse Blues into these break announcement. Also, I would not be surprised if more tunes were played after Dawg’s Rag, since it soundslike the band is tuning up for another song.

Flaws:
d1t01 Colored Aristocracy fades in
d1t07 Swing ’42 tiny splice @ 5:41
d2t01 Bud’s Bounce fades in
d2t01 Bud’s Bounce tiny splice @ 1:16
d2t07 Dawg’s Rag fades out

Matt’s notes:

This(7-21-73) is from the famed “Debbie Stash” that Will copied back in early 1979. the rehersal has circulated but the late show from the Keystone has never surfaced until now. the real cool thing about this is that it gives the listener the whole scope of a typical day for Jerry back then. You know, get up, go to the GD office maybe, then rehease with your bluegrass buddies then decide you are going to do a gig at the Keystone that night!! This time period was probably a very happy time in his life and it comes through in his playing here..
