  • Legion of Mary at the Arie Crown Theatre, Chicago, April 18, 1975

    LN jg1975-04-18.lom.all.composite-proctor-droncit.124466.flac1644 Thought I’d spin this one on its 45 anniversary yesterday. The only moment of the show that made me sit up some was the meltiness at the end of La-La, which could have gone anywhere and ended up going nowhere. After mostly getting through the show yesterday, I thought to myself “It’s no wonder…

  • Gloria NON Advenit! JGB at Keystone Palo Alto, Saturday, July 10, 1984

    update 1: Jeez … I now think Gloria must have arrived 7/10/84-7/11/84, a Tuesday-Wednesday in Palo Alto. Working backward: she is mentioned in reviews of August 1984 east coast shows. It is an iron law that the band played local warmups before leaving on tour, which would be these birthday shows. And it is just…

  • Kabuki Acoustics

    LN jg1982-08-23.jgjk.early-late.aud-menke-connor.12586.shn2flac LN jg1984-06-03.jgjk.all.sbd-unknown.81273.shn2flac Bill Graham ran the Kabuki Nightclub in Japantown for a few years in the early 1980s, and Garcia played twice, both times acoustic with ol’ buddy John Kahn. I am not a huge fan of the Garcia-Kahn acoustic duet, and these shows do nothing to move me from that basic position. Jerry still…

  • Self-quarantine

    I accidentally let a few notes of “Looks Like Rain” slip into my ears this morning. I immediately went to hit stop, but I was too late. I have disinfected everything and am self-quarantining for 14 days so as not to infect the rest of you.

This info is in my spreadsheets (as is all kinds of other stuff),…

    Someone mentioned this at LL, new to me, thought I’d bring it here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdAojTlp99hCvEmKSJ71t4A

  • Jerry, tògòtigi – JGB at the Warfield, Wednesday, March 9, 1994

    Marquee for Jerry (who?) at the Warfield, March 9, 1994. I would LOVE to find out who the photographer is and give credit. I love the image above, of the Warfield marquee reading just “Jerry” for the March 9, 1994 JGB show, because, assuming his last name is not photoshopped out, it speaks to who…
