Starting at around 5:18, there is an unfamiliar site on stage to the right of Jer. What is going on?

Looks like a Happy Camper on stage.
And Jerry appears to be wearing the paper pants they give you at the hospital???

I was at this one and it was my birthday so a friend from High Times Magazine gave me a press pass. This was not an all acess and they clearly knew I was not to be there but they were cool about it and let me roam around. Anyways, there was a group of special needs guests and that guy may have been one of them. They also had a woman using sign language and a huge balloon for deaf fans. This was something I had not seen before but cool none the less. Crazy times for sure and a run of shows I will never forget!

Looks like a tourist that got treated to his first show and maybe a little more. I'd bet $ to donuts he was a foreigner. Nevermind that, Garcia is plugged into his OMGOMG OMG OMG (wait for it) ........

















Blackface twin.

Yes Jerry looks to be using the BF twin. And the person seems to be a deaf interpreter to me.

Intrepreter was my first thought, but the intrepreters I remember were down right in front of the folks that were interested and were WAY more animated.
