Le Club Front, 20 Front St., San Rafael, CA

It was ca. August 1977 that they started there and, yes, in connection with Cats Under the Stars.
Club Front was funded by Garcia's solo record contract with Arista Records. The Neve console he installed was used for subsequent Grateful Dead albums - and transported to Radio
City Music Hall for Reckoning.

John Cippolina, with Rocky Sullivan, recorded here on September 6, 1979. He also recorded here with the Heart Of Gold Band in 1979.(4)



Jerry rehearsed and recorded here in
3/70 Steve Miller (Front Street Studios)
1/7/76 James Booker  John Kahn  Ron Tutt
1/25/76 Jerry Garcia Band
"We had this trip where we'd call ourselves the Front Street Sheiks and we'd play dumb piano jazz and stuff like that. We did some recording down at the rehearsal place [what evolved into the Dead's studio] right after they got their 24-track. We'd be down there every night of the week playing these old songs like "All The Things You Are," and "Night In Tunisia, " things like that. Keith and Donna were always together, so Donna sang with us too."(6)
