Oregon venues...who remembers Neighbors of Woodcraft in PDX?

Forums:

Ran across a full show recording of a  June 1982 Jerry acoustic show w/ John Kahn at Neighbors of Woodcraft near the Crystal Ballroom....anyone go to this?

...what a sweet listen with a very vocal audience.. interesting that they repeated Ripple and Run for the Roses in both sets.... sorry I missed it....I remember seeing bluesman Willie Dixon there in the mid 80s....and that the room was small w/ folding chairs, i think?

Early Show > Deep Elem Blues >  Dire Wolf >  Valerie > Jack-A-Roe > I've Been All Around This World >  Simple Twist Of Fate > Friend Of The Devil>  Oh Babe, It Ain't No Lie > Ripple >  Run For The Roses

Late show > It Takes A Lot To Laugh>  It Takes A Train To Cry > Stagger Lee > Gomorrah >  Little Sadie >  To Lay Me Down >  Deep Elem Blues > Russian Lullaby > Sing Me Back Home > Oh Babe, It Ain't No Lie > Ripple > Run For The Roses

Speaking of Garcia and Oregon venues, one of my favorite Garcia/Kahn shows is from the Oregon State Penitentiary from around that same time:

The show is most often listed as being 5-5-82, but new research suggests it was actually 6-5-82, which would place in closer to the Portland show above:

Thanks Ken -- I was just wondering about the dates, too... makes more sense that this wouldn've been a run.

hmmmm -- just found these Eugene shows in the same run...  then I found the Oregon Pen page, which keeps that May date... they were in Oregon a lot during that spring!

I believe Judit has talked about those Eugene High shows.

So no photos of the Neighbors of Woodcraft venue?

Thanks Local, I just found a cool Jerry blog w/ venue pages -- this one shows exterior and interior images -- and includes building history.

Yes, I did talk about the South Eugene High School shows. I went to one of them, I believe it was 6/5, and it was really good, a very lovely show. I have tapes of one or both, excellent. Tapes of acoustic shows usually make me happy and these certainly did.

Oregon the band was good.

 

Saw them 2 times in Israel when I was working and living there in 1989. Saw the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv shows. Here's the Jerusalem show. The Tel Aviv show was better.

These were the some of the first 'Garcia/Kahn' acoustic shows
