"I saw Jerry do a solo acoustic show in SF once, and he was visably uncomfortable through-out. Musically it was not memorable, but it was a trip to see him up there all alone. As far as Jerry still surprising me, I can listen to a tape I've listened to for 25 years, of a show I was at, and still be surprised every time I listen to it. The dude was a FREAK!!! The show I saw was in August of '82, and after looking at my old ticket stub John Kahn is listed as well, but I have no recollection of him being on stage. It was a long time ago. The show was at the Kabuki Theater across the street from the Fillmore. The thing I do remember from that show was that Jerry was clearly uncomfortable and hadn't said a word or looked at the audience at all until at one point between songs about 20 minutes in a dude rudely yelled out, "Don't be afraid to say HI!!" And immediately a woman followed that with, "And show us your beautiful smiiiiile!!" Jerry didn't acknowledge it at all, but a minute later as he was noodling into the next song he suddenly looked up quickly with a smart-ass smile and said "HI!!" real loud. Good ol' Jerry."
