Jerry in Hawaii Soundcheck

Forums:

I've seen the underwater footage and the interview on this tape, but I don't remember seeing this soundcheck before:

John Kahn would have made a good vampire.

Jerry was just tearing it up during this time period.

Hawaiian polo shirt Jerry is funny.

I was at this show!

Had been westing and welaxing with my sweety on '69 Beach on the Big I following the previous tour with a bunch of heads.
After 7 weeks we wound down with a layover (b4 heading home to SF) in Oahu and this show.
We were literally saying to ourselves - who is Jerry Garcia and why does he keep following us?

We bought tickets at the box office an hour prior to the show and got seated in box seats, dead center with a joyful crowd, many of whom were
US Naval personnel high on L (cause they Navy couldn't test for it).  There was even bar service directly to our box!

Seeing Jerry in fine form glowing form with Diamondhead a glimpse to the right, accompanied by a beautiful sunset was an amazing experience!

My only regret was not having the time or cash to go back to the Big Island for the subsequent Long House Gig the next night.
