Bands: Jerry Garcia Band
Venue: On The Boardwalk  at Asbury Park, Convention Hall
Date: July 26, 1980
Quality: Uncirculated program; Cover art.
Comments: Convention Hall was an acoustical nightmare. The stage was way too small. The projection booth wasn’t air conditioned. But the hospitality was great and the view of the Atlantic while the crew ate their meals was delightful. We had fun.
Four bottles of that 1971 vintage bottle of Chateau Moyssi were placed next to the Dom Perignon on the Hospitality table. At one point, I heard Steve Parish bellow “Moyssi! This’s the best goddam raisin jack I ever had!” The only people in the world who know about raisin jack are Navy guys—but NOBODY ages raisin jack for 9 years and I mean NOBODY! (There was a reason for the name at the bottom of the bottle and it had something to do with a missing decimal point in the instructions from the Chemistry Department at Harvard, but time apparently heals all wounds and that’s another story for another page on this website...)
