for the back cover. In the back cover sketch, take a close look at Garcia's
right hand. The front cover photograph was taken near the rendering plants by
Barney's Beanery in San Francisco on a very hot, almost 100 degree, day. The
album was recorded and mixed in a nine day period. "Mason's Children" was
recorded for this album but never released. "Uncle John's Band" contains a
fragment of a Bulgarian tune, music to which Garcia was listening at the
time. The "...please, don't murder me..." lines in "Dire Wolf" were inspired
by the "Zodiac Killer", who murdered over a score of people in San Francisco
between 1968 and 1978. The songs used for the album were rehearsed in one to
two days, the songs were then re-arranged to have a beginning of Side 1, end
of Side 1, a beginning of Side 2, and a finale, and the album was recorded in
early February, 1970. "Truckin'" was recorded at Wally Heider Studio C. The
