The FIrst 20 Tapes GD 5/26/73 Kezar Stadium, SF, CA

Public Service announcement:
My neighbor is putting on the Really Really Free Market Sat. May 14th from 7AM until 6PM at the Damaged Frieight Outlet 227 High ST., Hanover, PA  This is what is on her flyer. So check it out and involve yourself in local action

What is the Really Really Free Market? We all know that the free market is the capitalist idea that we’d all be better off worrying about ourselves and our own interests. The Really, Really Free Market ia not only an action in direct response to this ridiculous notion, but a means to disprove the capitalist myth of scarcity altogether. We don’t need the corporations, the governments, or the politicians to tell us what we need and where to get it.. All we need are the clothes and food they throw away.. All we need are talented minds and spirited hearts.. All we need is Each Other.

The Day’s events

The free exchange of goods (bring or take clothes, furniture, books, music, food, etc.) and comradery will be going on all day, but we do have a few special events planned for the day
Noon –3 PM Skill share with workshops TBA
3PM- 6PM An acoustic jam session

And now we return you to you regularly schedualed Kempepedia entry




     Greeting folks. Only a few more weeks until we show Bethel the meaning of three days of kick ass music. Yes, I am proclaiming that Phish will be better than Woodstock. So without a show to review, I present yet another installment of my highly controversial series, the First 20. Today I show a whole lotta love to 5/26/73, Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.
     This is another show that had widespread penetration among the collections of tape traders back in the days before the Internet.

   Kezar Stadium was where the 49ers played before they moved to Candlestick Park. Sorry I refuse to acknowledge whatever it’s new corporate name is; just like Deer Creek will always be Deer Creek. Kezar Stadium was located on the edge of the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and within the confines of Golden Gate Park. It was almost like a local concert for Heads.
    They also played 3 normal length sets instead of the monster sets that were typical of the era. Highlights of the first set include Deal, Jack Straw, and a rather spacey Playin. The second set was more like a first set as far the song selection goes. Harmonies abound on H C Sunshine and Donna takes a rare lead vocal on the Loretta Lynn classic You Ain’t Woman Enough. The third set was all about power. The classic run of He’s Gone>Truckin’ was like a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick. The Other One has some fine Phil bombs to collapse what was left of people’s skulls. The Eyes>China Doll is like the warm embrace letting you know that things will be alright, no matter how much of Owsley’s product you ingested.
