Random Garcia Band related trivia, and the "other" Cornell show

[John A]

In 1975, Jerry bought back the Boogie Woogie Flu from Europe '72 Dead lore with 5 Fall appearances.  The final one also featured the first Russian Lullaby.  Which brings us to the "other" Garcia Cornell show, 10-27-75 at Bailey Hall, a much smaller venue than Barton and build in 1912 partly for musical performances. This is no jack of all trades athletics barn. Bailey Hall seated about 1,300 and was known for excellent acoustics. The JGB must have sounded fantastic that night. Get a load of the setlist - wow!

 

Set 1: Let It Rock ; How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) ; They Love Each Other ; Every Word You Say ; Crazy Arms ; Russian Lullaby* ; Mystery Train 

Set 2: Mission In The Rain ; Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu ; Catfish John ; Positively 4th Street ; Let's Spend The Night Together ; Teddy Bears' Picnic ; The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ; Mean Woman Blues 

*bust out

Also, I noticed an interesting tidbit looking at Mystery Train on the whitegum.com lyrics site.  The Elvis Presley version completely changes the thrust of the song; in the final verse the train hasn't taken away his girl but rather it's bringing her to him. But it's Elvis, so of course! 😁

 

Here's the Elvis closing verse:

 

Train, train, coming on down the line
Train, train, coming on down the line
Well it's bringin my baby, 'cause she's mine oh mine
