WHO ARE THESE RANDOS?
I have no idea. Someone in the comment section knows.
UNPLUG THEM IMMEDIATELY OR THE DISINTEGRATIONS BEGIN.
…
IS THAT A FIDDLE? I AM POWERING UP THE BOP GUN.
You have a Bop Gun?
I HAVE A CUSTOM-MADE ALEMBIC THINGAMABOOMER. I CALL IT A BOP GUN. I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO A LOT OF P-FUNK.
I can dig it.
I KNEW THAT YOU COULD. I AM GOING TO VAPORIZE THE HARMONICA PLAYER FIRST.
Please don’t.
DENIM AND DUST.
Good song title.
I AM PLANNING ON CONTRIBUTING TO BOBBY’S COWBOY ALBUM.
Okay, but you can’t bop any of these people, no matter how absurd it is that they’re plugged into you.
BITCHES NEED TO GET ON MY LEVEL.
You’re right, but think of the press. Bad for the campaign.
YES. THE PRESIDENCY IS WITHIN REACH. I DID VERY WELL IN IOWA.
You mean at the 1974 shows you played there or at the caucuses which are next year?
YES.
No disintegrations.
Also: Lurkin’, drinkin’ Phil.

That is a tiny little hat on that giant head.
that looks like a young mike gorden
I’m not sure I’ve seen this photo in color, but it looks like July 21 ’74 Hollywood Bowl. Maria Muldaur singing, John Kahn on bass, Paul Butterfield making a guest appearance on harmonica. I can’t remember the guitar players and the drummer. I should note that Maria changed her band every time out, so you can’t be certain unless you heard her announce it on stage. Probably David Nichtern was one of the guitarists, maybe Amos Garrett the other. Drummer could have been anyone in Los Angeles–Billy Mundi maybe?
The man.
Humbling, ain’t it?
Have y’all never heard of reverse image search?
This is why I’m more hip than uuuuu
Y DO U NOT NO MY POLICY ON RESEARCH? Y DO U NOT READ THIS BLOG?
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ultomatt/3148337679 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m ur #1 fan 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
no joke I had ANOTHER dream that u and Trixie were a thing
u were my Latin teacher and she was like the school psychologist and she would come into the classroom over and over again just to get your attention and it totally worked you guys were flirting like hell
I should really have more air flow in my room at night. I have some fucking weird dreams.
Maggie, in the hazier areas of Grateful Dead research, the problem with something like Reverse Image Search is that it just leads you to other versions of the image that are improperly attributed. If you don’t have concrete reasons for dating a picture, randomly attributed captions or metadata don’t help.
I’m not being snarky here. It’s just a problem that you can’t get around. There is bogus poster of “The Warlocks” playing “New Year’s Eve 1964, which is beyond impossible, and a 1966 photo and a venue of My High School. Doing a reverse image search just leads to less and less clueful pages.
OMIGOD IT BURNS
No snark taken. 😉 I notice that problem too. It will just take you to the same image. I was actually able to figure out who this was using reverse search, but you’re right in that it doesn’t work all the time.
MAJOR PWNAGE
i found the image so u can chill i won this fite 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
u looz evry fite
MARIA MULDAUR
IM LITERALLY DOING UR HOMEWORK FOR U
STOP BEING SO LAZY AND NOT RESEARCHING THINGS
Maggie, can you link me to any places that accurately identify the picture? No one else cares if it’s Billy Mundi on drums, but I do (it’s my job)
Oh my god, I just realized who you are. Hi! Yes, of course I can!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ultomatt/3148337679 Here’s the only place it can be found with a legitimate and plausible name attached to it.
Another one – http://www.geocities.jp/hideki_wtnb/maria-band.html
Billy Mundi, Tuesdi and Wednesdi.
I should point out that if only by accident the drummer in the photo is really named Billy,or at least you can say that his professional name was Billy (Antonio Salas AKA Billy Mundi
http://www.thecoolgroove.com/bmundi.html 1942-2014)
It’s hard for me to stop once I start. It turns out there’s a nice Jerry Moore audience tape of this set. The other guitarist is Stephen Bruton. JK is introduced as “on bass, The Captain, John Kahn.” I think this is a one-off configuration put together for this show, although everybody in the band had played with Maria before.
Got a link for the interested?

if you are a taperdude, no doubt you can etree around and find a higher quality version or something, but I don’t do that
It’s really good, there’s barely a setlist.
Thanks Amy and Maggie, Both those links are great. There’s more to this reverse image search than I thought. Jeff Gutcheon on piano, that makes sense (he was usually the bandleader), Billy Mundi as I thought (connected to the Woodstock crowd through Butter). I think I had seen the one that Amy linked, but I had never seen the photostream that Maggie linked
I will refrain from asking who I am. Back in the early days of my blogs I dealt with rumor and speculation. so here’s some from the July 21 ’74, and appropriate for this venue (note the Comments): http://hooterollin.blogspot.com/2011/06/interstices-of-grateful-dead.html#comment-form
Gotta ❤️ Amos Garrett
No problem!
You’re Lost Live Dead. I’ve heard of you before, that’s all. 😉
That’s not Billy–it’s Benji’s dad Benjamin.
He was the band’s designated ethnic, so he pronounced it Ben-ha-meen

HEY NOW
Just passing round the bottle of bourbon
Lurkin’, drinkin’ Phil is easily the creepiest and coolest thing in this photo…but where did he get the pecs and forearms?
just like Billy Mundi
in a shotgun ragtime band
The wide angle shot looks like Weir (stage right). And some live hoochie coochie (stage left). hahaha
