50 years ago tonight, the thanksgiving jam at armadillo world headquarters in austin starring #sirdougsahm, #jerrygarcia, #leonrussell, #phillesh, #bennythurman, & pals. in some households, a headier tradition than #alicesrestaurant or #thelastwaltz. small thing, but pretty sure this is the only recorded instance of members of the dead playing with a 13th floor elevator, former bassist benny thurman, who switched to fiddle post-elevators, seen behind garcia here. https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2021/11/23/happy-thanksgiving-doug-sahm-and-friends-austin-tx-1972-7/ [1/3]
