Deadlists, Deadbase, GD19691003
I understand that the Deadbase guys are making a 50th anniversary print edition. I doubt I’ll get it, because I already have Deadbase I, II, III and IX, and though they promise updates based on the wave of information that has emerged in the digital era (starting with Deadlists, and moving through LLD, LIA’s work,…

Cats in the Studio: September 1977
–> I can’t write up everything I have gathered around the recording of Garcia’s 1978 masterpiece Cats Under the Stars, not now, and, alas, perhaps not ever in any true sense of the word “everything”. Once I write the book I plan on just throwing open all of my materials and letting others have at…

“M.G. is writing a book”
http://danb.altervista.org/Default.htm 07/06/15 – From p.84 of the July/August 2015 issue of Relix: [Trixie Garcia is now] on the board of the Grateful Dead with the band’s surviving members—Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. In many ways, she has become Garcia’s avatar. . . She’s excited that M.G. is writing a book. She’s relieved…

Reading Notes: Henke 1991
LIA posted a quote from this, I stumbled across it amidst my materials, and I decided now was as good a time as any to annotate it. Henke, James. 1991. The Rolling Stone Interview: Jerry Garcia. Rolling Stone, October 31, 34-40, 103, 106, 108. Two September 1991 afternoons, hotel room overlooking Central Park. July 1991…

Reconstruction in Tempe, AZ, July 29, 1979 (CANCELED)
**update: the show was canceled, per JGBP’s correspondence with show promoter, in comments** I gather up a lot of stuff, and “processing” it takes time. I appear to have gathered the above about 2/20/2015. It bears the watermark of noted photog Jay Blakesberg, and it’s a ca. July 1979 schedule of Dead-related events put out…

JGMS Marx Meadows video
Wow. That is a four-minute black and white video, with sound, of JGMS playing “Sitting In Limbo” at Marx Meadows, Golden Gate Park, September 2, 1974. There’s an equipment malfunction and the snippet ends on Big Steve coming out to fix some things. Beyond the fact that this video exists, what amazes me most is…

“A Shitty Father”
The title of this post comes from Garcia daughter Annabelle’s remarks at his funeral on 8/11/95, probably not said in anger, almost certainly considerably true. I don’t recall Jerry speaking so frankly about this issue as here, ca. July 1981: I have a family – I am talking about the woman I used to live…

light blogging
Odds are that blogging will continue to be light for awhile. I like to do more during the summer, but circumstances just don’t permit right now. Click some tags and sniff around here, or the allied blogs such as Lost Live Dead, Hooterollin Around, Grateful Dead Guide, Dead Sources, etc. Links are to the right.…

Garcia, Cutler, Hunter, unidentified woman chatting, ca. 1970
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_g2GWeAgYQ Not much very revelatory, but nice to hear Hunter rapping, and they talk together about Altamont. Around 20, we get some Hells Angels talk. Garcia: “It’s almost like having tigers on the streets.” Hunter, in a classic case of how these guys romanticized the Angels and other outlaws: “Hells Angels are Robin Hood. Cutler…
