DESCRIPTION:  Acoustic live set with guitar, bass, and Jerry’s vocals. Pressed in a limited edition of 750 copies. The following comes from “dr.geena” who responded to my first description to this album that included mis-information that seems to be floating around, thank you “dr.”:  “Hey now! I just wanted to send you some friendly corrections to your info on this recording....first off, and this ones pretty big, Jerry was never incarcerated at Oregon State penitentiary in Salem, Oregon. He and long time friend John Kahn, who plays the upright bass, played this intimate show for a select few inmates. Theres not a whole lot known as to who this favor was done for, or why. Though its not hard to believe Jerry would know and have a friend or two in most west coast penitentiaries! But he was not being held there. This show was sandwiched between a night in Portland and the next night at a high school gym in Eugene. And lastly, it is more likely this acoustic session took place on June 6, 1982, not in May. Nevertheless, it is a great recording, with excellent sound, of what I’m sure was one great afternoon for some prisoners who got to take a couple hours off from their unfortunate fate. Peace”.
