Jerry Garcia’s Name-Claiming Journey Beyond the Grateful Dead

  • No Donna Tough Mama

    LN jg1977-07-08.jgb.early.aud-moore-minches.21478.shn2flac I like this show a lot. Donna Jean is not present. Who sings harmonies? Jerry Garcia Band Calderone Concert Hall 145 N.

  • Rockabilly JGB Doing Not Fade Away: July 9, 1977

     LN jg1977-07-09.jgb.late-2.aud-strange-miller.124426.flac1644 Not a whole ton to say, not a ton of time, so I’ll just bullet. Donna is absent. I wonder why? I need to document her 1977 absences, because there was a good number. “Not Fade Away” is a JGB singleton, and is very interesting. Jerry is super-fired up for it and does…

  • Video from The Stone?

    Anyone ever heard of any video circulating from Freddie Herrera and Bobby Corona’s The Stone (412 Broadway, San Francisco, CA, 94111)? Apparently video was shot there.

  • JGB at Queens College, October 30, 1975

    LN jg1975-10-30.jgb.all.aud-cooper.124251.flac2496 Have barely had time to write a word about the Hopkins-era JGB these last 4+ years of blogging and hiatuses. That remains true, so the writeup will be short. Bottom line is that I think Nicky sounds really good (i.e., reasonably sober). I sort of figure that the day off the day before…

  • JGB April 2, 1976 Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ

    Wow. Earliest known JGB video. Wonderful. Hopefully there’s more video from the Cap yet to emerge! Thanks to whomever unearthed and shared this. Great, great stuff.

  • Reminder: Date Index

    Just a little reminder that I try to keep a reasonably complete list of dates I have discussed at any length at a db.etree list, http://db.etree.org/jgmf. Happy hunting!

  • Fishing Reports: Fall 2011

    I was going through some old posts, trying to update tags, and somehow this must have only been a draft. So it was posted in 2013, two years after the fact. I don’t have time to do this up right, and I know these are just notes-to-self, but let me just lay them down anyway.…

  • Alligator

    I didn’t mean to publish this drafty fragment. It published itself. IIWII. anonymous comment:  Russian River connection might have to do with them spending time at the Warnecke Ranch out on Chalk Hill Rd in Healdsburg. Alligator was supposed to be written there. 7/16/67 interview Garcia says they are looking to move to the Southwest,…
