## Notes

The promotional matter announces, "JGB will recreate a memorable 1988 Jerry Garcia Band show from the Warfield 30 years earlier. Along with an opening set as a tribute to Jerry featuring Melvin, Oteil, Stanley and Dave"

Since JGB only performed three shows there in '88: [2/6](http://jerrygarcia.com/show/1988-02-06-the-warfield-san-francisco-ca/), [3/4](http://jerrygarcia.com/show/1988-03-04-the-warfield-san-francisco-ca/) and [3/5](http://jerrygarcia.com/show/1988-03-05-the-warfield-san-francisco-ca/), it wasn't too hard to make the positive identification once they got going.
