About The Show:

This was part of a special series of shows on the occassion of the closing of the Jabberwocky. This night was a double bill with Junior Wells. Performers on other nights included Jorma Kaukonen & There Goes The Neighborhood, James Brown, John Cale, Roger McGuinn. The Jab only held 200-250 people so it operated at a huge loss for these special appearances.
