Do you recall if Melvin Seals (Elvin's keyboard player) took part in the jam?<br /><br />Someone told me (from long ago memory) that the song "Fishin Blues" was part of the jam. Could Elvin have interpolated those lyrics that into the song you described? It sounds like the kind of thing Elvin would do, take a bluesy tune and stick in some lyrics that fit from another song.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-84337859547135205382015-09-19T21:27:32.409-07:002015-09-19T21:27:32.409-07:00I had a monitor board cassette of the Elvin Bishop...I had a monitor board cassette of the Elvin Bishop- Jerry Garcia jam from this show but it went missing several years ago. I was the bass player in Whakoo and played Elvin's encore With Garcia and a few other guys from my band. The tune was "Right Now Is The Hour" that Elvin created with Whakoo at The Catalyst in San Jose about a week before the Santa Barbara show. Them's the facts.

Via dead.net, poster peetstr50, 2/27/2013, URL http://www.dead.net/show/june-4-1978?page=1:<br /><br />The lineup that day at the UCSB football stadium was to be first a local reggae rock band - I believe they were called Waa Koo and they were quite good- , followed by Warren Zevon, then the Elvin Bishop Group and then the Grateful Dead.<br /><br />But after the local band played there was a little bit of a wait followed by Elvin Bishop, NOT Warren Zevon. (?) Then after Elvin Bishop put on a down-home kickass performance, he says "Stick around, were gonna have a little jam session with Jerry Garcia and the local boys." Members of Waa Koo, The Elvin Bishop Group and Jerry Garcia played for about 30-40 minutes. Lots of fun!<br /><br />But then there was a kinda long wait. And Warren Zevon's band took the stage. Then Warren came out and he was VERY very drunk. And he proceeded to be abusive and disrespectful to the audience.<br /><br />And now you know why Warren Zevon was booed off the stage at the UCSB football stadium back in June 1978Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-55388992850984465352012-10-10T16:41:56.655-07:002012-10-10T16:41:56.655-07:00According to a poster for the Rio Theater, David P...According to a poster for the Rio Theater, David Palmer of Steely Dan was in The Big Wha-Koo.Jerry's Brokendown Palaceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06451361448230329754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-17041015847181351812012-10-09T19:59:27.995-07:002012-10-09T19:59:27.995-07:00I recall the lead guitar for Waku was dressed in a...I recall the lead guitar for Waku was dressed in a white satin jumpsuit and his rock star persona was over the top. LOL Who was that guy? Seemed even more ridiculous when the one of the Hell's Angels rode a bike up on stage during NFA, on mic.<br /><br />I don't recall Jerry onstage with Elvin Bishop but if he was, wasn't it the first time he played with Melvin Seals and Donny Baldwin?<br /><br />"I got with Elvin Bishop for about 6 years and had the hit 'Fooled Around And Fell In Love'(1976) and that was the height of that. But that was how I met Maria Maladur. I did some work with Maria and at that time John Kahn (bassist for the Garcia Band) was her boyfriend. That’s where John heard me and offered me the opportunity to come over and play with the other band.”<br />Melvin played with the Jerry Garcia Band from 1980 until Jerry’s death in 1995."(1)<br /><br />Here's a video of Elvin Bishop Band from 1978 and a much thinner Melvin is there.
