Jerry Garcia backstage
Paramount Theatre, Portland, OR
October 2, 1977.

Garcia talks to unknown people backstage. Topics of discussion include the upcoming trip to Egypt in 1978, the upcoming tour, tuning guitars and pianos, Bill Walton, the Englishtown show. Sounds like drug use is involved, as toking and snorting sounds are present. Date is determined by references to "show last night" (the Dead played Oct. 1 and Oct. 2/77 in Portland), reference to just starting the tour in Seattle, and other references.
