Thought y'all might dig this.

Awesome pic!
Dead or JGB? (I can’t tell if that’s Phil or not)
MKII?
Les Paul TV Yellow?

Oh duh, I didn’t even look at the stock, the lack of color threw me off - Mesa with the Dead!? What year would this be?

75’ or early 76’ I would think.

It's 9/28/75. Phil or not huh? That's Bobby over on the right.

Wasn’t ‘75 an off year for the Dead, I wonder if this was a JGB incarnation - you know prior to the Reflections record

Love Jerry’s rainbow bell bottom wings

Yes, they played a five night run at Winterland in October of ‘74, then took a hiatus and retired the Wall. They only played four local shows in S.F. in ‘75, and commenced touring again in ‘76. The above 9/28/75 photo is from Lindley Meadows in GG Park. I was at four of the five 10/74 shows where they filmed The Grateful Dead Movie.

Bill, tgo

Ha! We used to turn our straight-legs into bells back in the early 70s by ripping the outside seam and inserting a triangular piece of select fabric in there!

The caption on that last pic says 9/28/74. Could be a typo, I guess.

Typo. They played 9/20 & 9/21/74 in Paris and didn’t play again until the above-mentioned five night stand at Winterland 10/16-20/74.

Bill, tgo

Sure looks like Golden Gate Park to me.
Cool to see Jerry doing the Boogie.
So if Bob is to Jer's left, then Bob is running into a Music Man head? Nice!

Looks like Bobby’s playing his Ibanez Professional 2681.

Bill, tgo

Looks chilly!
