Found this by searching Augusta. This is what my friends at the time called the Gravy Stain tour because it was on his pants the whole tour. Cleary visible here.
At the '84 Richmond show my first thought when he walked on stage was that they had simply folded him up after the show in Charlotte the night before, packed him away like any other piece of equipment, pulled him out and shook him off and sent his rumpled ass out on stage.
Man look at his fat calves in that Augusta pic.I remember the 12/28/84 show when he seemed to have a hard time walking up the steps to get onstage. Like it took his breath away just those few steps.I could clearly see it from where I was sitting.
That’s what stuck out to me too doc. They are disproportionately large, even for someone with horrendous physical conditioning. Camera angle may be providing added effect here.
Those calves look like they might have some kind of bandage on them. I think he might have shot up in his legs? Remember reading something where he ran into an old friend (maybe former manager John McIntire)and said he's been a junkie for years.and maybe showed his legs.?
Ugh. That spectacular man reduced to a blob by drugs and bad health choices. I don't know why you'd want pic from this era. Subtract ten years. You may feel better about what you see.

Yes his legs were seriously swollen in '84, possibly cellulitis; terrible diet, zero exercise, tons of coke and smack.
It is amazing he lived through that time.

The picture of Jerry being interviewed was January 1985 for Frets Magazine. Close enough for the time frame I you're looking for I guess. here is a link to the interview:
ftp://gdead.berkeley.edu/pub/gdead/interviews/JerryGarcia-complete-1985-...
This excerpt at the beginning is telling:
....friends who are tell me that my meeting
with Jerry took place during one of the lowest points of his life.
Garcia, unwashed and disheveled, shuffled slowly into the living room,
his black T-shirt sprinkled with white powder. His fingertips were
blackened in a manner consistent with "chasing the dragon," as smoking
heroin was commonly referred to in the Bay Area. Ten minutes into our
interview, Garcia nonchalantly chopped a large rock of cocaine into
about twenty lines and consumed all of it during the next hour.

Man listen to the Dew from that October 12th Augusta show. And the Worcester shows weren't too shabby on that tour also.
