I've added his comments in the post. <br />Maybe some more reporting of the event will turn up (probably not mentioning the Dead) - giant July 4 festivities are the kind of thing newspapers love to cover. <br />I still wonder who the flutist/saxophonist in the photos was, if he's known.

Wolman keeping a contemporary logbook should be a very reliable source and if it identifies a photo of a cold day matching Jim Marshall's photos, hopefully with Jerry wearing that sweater and having a weird wiring loop on his Les Paul Special that's enough for me.
