    Late Jerry loved playing on Halloween. In the last fifteen years of his life, the only years he is not known to have gigged on Halloween are 1982 and 1994. Table xxx. Garcia on Halloween, 1980-1994. Orange is GD, blue is GOTS. As indicated in the table, things were distributed across the GD (6 dates/shows)…

  • Just Play

    Going through some scratched up old CDs, I found a copy of the Crosby, Stills and Nash release Carry On (Atlantic 7567804872, 2006). Entering some dates to trace Croz’s whereabouts in the various periods in which he frequented the Garciaverse (most intensely, fall 1969-fall 1971 and again March-September 1975), I am reminded that Crosby, Stills,…

  • Benefits

    Does anyone happen to have or know of a list of benefits played by the Dead/Garcia? Perhaps more realistically, does anyone have or know of a list of Rex Foundation concerts the Dead played? Update: I have constructed and posted my own list of benefits.

LN jg1984-12-05.jgb.s2.aud.79642.flac1644 I have been engaging this little mini-tour undertaken by the JGB in early December 1984 as a way to reflect on Garcia’s Rock Bottom.

  • Old Folks at Home for a Very Long Show: JGB at the Uptown, November 17, 1981

    LN jg1981-11-17.jgb.all.aud-mason.131710.flac1644 Not much to report. Note that I have just been doing a bunch of listening and most of my reports are lukewarm – what are the odds that it’s as much to do with me-in-these-moments as what’s actually on the tapes? Anyway, there were no early and late shows on the Chicago stop…
