Garcia’s about to pop that blond fucker for stealing his look.
Also: Olompali?
And: This photo comes via the Brokedown Podcast, which you should check out.
Plus: I’ve changed my mind about Purple Dress’ age nine times now. Look at her: she could be anywhere from a really-mature 13 to 43 with good genes.
Double-Plus: Behind Garcia on the other side. Blue shirt and sunglasses. All right, all right, all right.
With: Garcia is not smoking, and for the only reason Garcia was ever not smoking: he was about to smoke. There were only two options.
This is a batting cage. Not joking here–this is some local or school rec field, and Jer’s at home plate. Is that an SG?
ok, i guess Jerry has the Guild.
It’s a Les Paul with p-90 pickups.
the p-90s and…..
Corry, you wearing your glasses, buddy? That’s the Les Pauliest Les Paul that ever Les Pauled.
well, right the first time I guess. So its definitely Summer or Fall ’67, based on the guitar and the Jercut. But where is it? Some free concert where there was a baseball diamond?
And a teepee. This sounds like the Riddler came up with it.
“Where can you find a diamond and a teepee?”
god, I didn’t even notice the teepee. I’ve normalized it.
I think the blonde guy is Bob Matthews. Also, there’s a building, like a park building, behind the teepee. This has the look of a free concert, but where? Seattle?
this is the free gig at Elysian Park 67-09-16
Are you sure about that date? A very reputable source says the Dead were in Vegas that day.

Wait, Corry’s contradicting himself.

they played the park in the afternoon with the airplane and then drove to vegas for the evening gig
I think Vegas was October. The source was TC, who would have remembered it, but not the date. I’m now leaning towards October
I vote Oct 21st for Vegas. And I second ruppie43 on Elysian Park.
Someone should ask MG about this pic.
Yeah, Oct 21 is a good date, with Oct 14 as a second choice. For those of you who would like to read thousands of words on the Grateful Dead’s known and suspected 1967 touring schedule, see here: http://hooterollin.blogspot.com/2016/04/grateful-dead-performance-list-july.html
However, it is nearly certain to be a pic of Elysian, an outstanding find – note the Chavez 67 written on the pic – Chavez Ridge at Elysian in LA.
Yes, good call on “Chavez”–I had thought it was a photographer’s name, but I was barking up the wrong tree.
good get
Tripping Balls Laying Down Guy
OK. the striped shirt with Expo ’67 emblazoned on it, in the green stripe. i’ll buy one.
jerry at Golden Gardens (you can take the 45 from the Ave, via Green Lake, Greenwood, Crown Hil, Sunset Hill Ballard…..the last stop, take the stairs down to the beach) avec la meme chemise, mon dieu! Les Paul sans Le Bixby aussi aussi, Pitou!
Now, turning to the real issue, what is Jerry extracting from his left front pocket?
A pack of Pall Mall cigs.
My conclusion too.
