Ramblin' Jack Elliot and Clover also on the bill. The college is known today as Sonoma State University, but at the time of the concert it was known as California State College Sonoma. This show was originally scheduled 10/7 but due to bad weather it was postponed to 11/4. Posters for this show are in the Gallery section. Chip Schramm: Was Jerry Garcia an influence of yours at any point? Jeff Mosier: During that time, a lot of hippies used to call. They'd say, "play some Jerry Garcia, man, play some Old and in the Way." I'd be like "OK", but I didn't know who Jerry Garcia really was. I mean, I knew about the Grateful Dead, but I didn't, you know? I put on Old and in the Way and I said "Oh Gosh, this is pretty bad bluegrass." It was because my ear was so attuned to a certain sound. This was going on in '84. As time went on and I started to play with Bruce, I really started to realize who Jerry Garcia was. People would call up and say "I want to hear some Peter Rowan and some David Grisman and some Tony Rice." All of a sudden it occurred to me that there was this whole other world of music out there played on bluegrass instruments and it killed me. So I started really listening. Even though Jerry had some severe finger problems; he didn't have enough fingers to really play the banjo, in my opinion he played the banjo from a place where it had never been played from before. He wasn't a hillbilly but he revered Bill Monroe. He often said he dreamed of being one of the Bluegrass Boys, one of Bill's boys. Bill Monroe really was one of THE guys in American music. Jerry had some heart and feel about his playing that really freaked my up as a player. I started listening to what he did on Old And In The Way and Midnight Moonlight and White Dove. Here were these guys who were playing these songs that weren't necessarily traditional, but some of them really were. I mean, Pig in a Pen, that's hardcore bluegrass, White Dove, that's hardcore bluegrass, but then Midnight Moonlight, that's not bluegrass. It's a Peter Rowan song and has weird chords. It just kills me to hear him play it. If Jerry Garcia hadn't come out of the closet and said, "Hey, I like bluegrass" and done the hillbilly thing in San Francisco in the early 1970's, there would not be a Blueground Undergrass, in my opinion. I don't think there would have been a market for Aquarium Rescue Unit and there certainly wouldn't be a Leftover Salmon or String Cheese Incident. A lot of these bands have spawned because of the interest and re-interest in bluegrass music that Old And In The Way had brought in.
