FAMILYDOG

"The San Francisco Rock and Roll scene was invented by

the Family Dog and the Charlatans. All we wanted to do

was throw a big dance to raise money to buy

land in Arizona to run a mail order pet cemetery."

This page provides details of the various Family Dog sponsored shows and events - including those at 660 The Great Highway.  Due to my lack of interest in the latter Maritime Hall shows, they are not included.  If I can find a link to those shows, then no doubt I will add it at a later date.  However, there are a number of other shows included from the Avalon Ballroom that were not put on by the Family Dog.

October 15, 1966 Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, Big Brother & the Holding Company (with Jerry Garcia sitting), Sir Douglas Quintet.  FD-30 Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley    
October 16, 1966 Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Sir Douglas Quintet, 13th Floor Elevators, The New Peanut Butter Sandwich. Jerry Garcia’s Middle Finger blogged:  Having just posted about Garcia's October 1966 sit-in with Big Brother and the Holding Company, I'll follow on with what is even more interesting-sounding (though it apparently didn't come off that well).

Mojo Navigator R&R News no. 9 (October 17, 1966) gives a brief account of the evening, which apparently included a configuration ("One Night Only!", I assume) called The New Peanut Butter Sandwich, composed of the following (instruments are mostly presumed):

Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (GD): organ
Jerry Garcia (GD): guitar;
David Getz (BBHC): drums;
David Freiberg (QMS): bass;
?? (Sir Douglas Quintet): rhythm guitar;
Gary Duncan (QMS): guitar;
John Cipollina (QMS): guitar;
?? ("negro blues singer"): ??.

The only other detail is that "They did a very long and boring pseudo-Butterfield blues instrumental." Not clear what the blues singer was doing sitting in on an instrumental, but anyway ... sounds interesting!
This may have happened on October 15 or October 16. 		 FD-30 Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley
