GREG DOUGLASS BENEFIT
Old Waldorf, San Francisco
April 30, 1978

Lineage: Cass(mono)>CD>EAC>

In March, 1978, Greg Douglass' hand lost a battle with a battle with a pane of glass, severing several tendons and arteries. At the time, there was a chance he would never play guitar again, but doctors were able to repair most of the damage via microsurgery.

Greg's friends got together to hold a benefit to help with his medical expenses, with John Cipollina acting as musical director and playing in all three bands. Tery was joined by Byron Allred's (Steve Miller Band) only appearence as a Pirate. Rocky included an early version of the band will Mike Varney and Greg Anton. This was SDS' second (and last) gig and features Nick Gravnites, Pete Sears, Jim McPherson and David Weber (Copperhead), Jarrett Washington (Freelight) and Marcus David (Nick G). The sets for two of the bands have never been circulated, the third (SDS) has not been torrented. The recording is pretty good considering it was from a mono cassette with a built in condenser microphone. The digital transfer was made directly from the cassette master. Some EQ was used to improve the sound.
