hope this doesn’t go all sideway!
@bourgwick of the trips festival? no handbills but could probably triangulate given enough time and clues. I think it was late in the semester so likely April or May of 85 They definitely played at least 150 distinct Dead covers at the trips festival complete with harmony vocals throughout. @bourgwick Fishman apparently “played hand percussion—primarily utilizing djembe drums, shakers, and a tambourine—to provide the rhythm section while Trey and Brian held down the dual-guitar melodies. The group featured tight vocal harmonies. Fishman was also actively involved in working the crowd, passing around the hat to secure the coins that funded their food, cheap wine, and train passes. They wrote YEM and Harry Hood on that trip. @bourgwick it appears the second guitarist was Brian Long, a Princeton area friend and the mini guitars came from Time Guitars in Burlington where Languedoc was working but he did not make them. @bourgwick first album metadata typo in rock and roll history!
