-- Note - The band introduces itself before Homestead On The Farm:
D.Nelson(?): (cut) "..nk you very much. Uh, in case you don't already know, we're the Black Mountain Boys or the Black Mountain String Band -- the greatest bluegrass band since King Solomon's Mines. And over on the right hand side, we have Jerry Garcia, alias Dr. Car Stairs; and on the guitar, we have Eric Thompson..."
Garcia: "And here in the middle, kind fellow -- on stage, off stage, no matter where you happen to run into him -- is, uh, Ernie Bo-Peep on the mandolin here -- better known as David Nelson."
D.Nelson(?): "Jim Beemis on bass"
Garcia: "Schep."

Black Mountain Boys. Deadlists: COMMENTS Black Mountain Boys: Jerry Garcia, banjo and guitar; David Nelson, mandolin; Sandy Rothman, guitar, Robert Hunter, bass player. Sandy Rothman confirms that this was the second of back-to-back nights at the Tangent in Palo Alto.
-- My reasoning for listing Sandy Rothman as guitarist and Robert Hunter as bassist:
* Before Homestead On The Farm, someone (Robert Hunter?) says: "We're gonna do a song called Homestead on the Farm. Or, Sandy's gonna sing a song."
* Before Two Little Boys, someone (Hunter?) says: "Uh, while Sandy tunes his guitar... The next song is gonna be Two Little Boys... or the name of the next song is gonna be Two Little Boys. The name of the next song *is* Two Little Boys, in fact."
* Before Rosalie McFall, Garcia says: "Sandy gets to play... uh, play a lot of stuff on this one here."
* Before Love Please Come HomeSo Sandy went and foolishly put new strings on his guitar last month..."
* Sandy Troy lists the following personnel ("Captain Trips," Appendix A):
Garcia, banjo; David Nelson, mandolin; Robert Hunter, bass; Sandy Rothman, guitar.
-- My reasoning for listing as SET2 and SET3 (and not SET1):
* Before Sawood Mountain, Garcia mentions: "We figured we'd just stand around this set, you know. . . we played last set" (... so I'm assuming there was another set before this - SET1.)
* My tape ends (cuts) during John Hardy with Garcia(?) saying: "Thank you very much for, uh... bearing with us, coming to see us, and... we'll be back in about 20 minut..."(cut) IMO, this is definitely a set break -- but between which two sets? I'm missing the Roll On Buddy->Black Mtn. Rag, so I can't tell where this might belong (but Sandy Troy lists it after Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor - and does not list the John Hardy at all). BTW, there is *not* a cut/splice between Make Me A Pallet and John Hardy on my tape.
