  • Garciaverse Event Typology

    So, the unit of analysis in my basic framework is an “event”, defined as GD (musical), JG (musical), or nonmusical. My method can only pick up events assignable to one or several 24-hour-or-less slices of time. So, something that happened May 25 can be picked up as an event, but something that happened “in late…

  • The Garcia Band’s Last Gig (and list of contemporary late-era posts)

  • Old Garcia Running to the Rock for Rescue

    LN jg1995-03-05.jgb.all.aud-michaelB-goodbear.79634.flac1644 I listened to the second set, and man did I love it. “Shining Star” isn’t may favorite, but the call-and-response with the crowd is nice. Jerry drops on a dime –actually, John first hit the line– into “Johnny Too Bad”, which is very, very good. Wonderful. The return to SS is neat, and…

    LN jg1995-04-21.jgb.all.aud-vasseur-ladner.21900.shn2flac Third to last JGB gig, on the home court. A little bit of historical background, some analysis of the musics figuring in the setlist, and a brief note on “Johnny Too Bad” (“my God, this is just great, so full of feeling”) will figure in the listening notes below. Jerry Garcia Band The…

  • Good, Clean Fun – JGB at the Onondoga County War Memorial, Syracuse, NY, November 14, 1993

    LN jg1993-11-14.jgb.all.aud-SchoepsMK4.137896.flac1644 JGB plays two strong hour-plus sets on the November ’93 tour. I love Señor, and he gets most of the lyrics on this version.”The Maker” is nice and concise, and I swear I heard a little “Mountain Jam” in there. Anyway, good, clean fun for your twenty-two-and-a-half 1993 dollars. Jerry Garcia Band Onondaga…
