  • Arnold, Corry. 2012. The Janet Soto List Manuscript Tradition

    The Janet Soto List Manuscript Tradition By Corry Arnold For some reason that is unknown to me, GDP employee Janet Soto made a typewritten list of every Grateful Dead performance from January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1980. I have no idea why this list was created, but I’m glad it was. I received my…

    update 20120107: how could I have missed LIA’s post “Constanten on Constanten”? Anyway, there it is, excellent as always. Spent some time with this, mostly trying to get some more anchoring around Tarot, which has become quite a productive discussion in comments to my post on a “Rubber Duck Mime Band and Jerry Garcia” billing…

    On Saturday, August 24, 1974, the Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders played the Great American Music Hall at 859 O’ Farrell Street, San Francisco, CA, 94109. I have written about this show once before, just to lay out a few contradictions around the date/venue combination, which I basically dismiss. I am of the view that…

  • JGMS: July 13-15, 1972 (UNCERTAIN)

    The item above, from the great “Rock Talk by KG” column in the Hayward Daily Review (July 13, 1972, p. 27) says that Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders will be playing Keystone Berkeley “through July 17”, implying shows on July 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. There are no known (to me) Garcia conflicts with…

  • What’s Going On? Listening to the Show Traveling as JGMS 7/22/74

    LN jg1974-07-22.jgms.146mins.sbd-GMB.86198.flac1644 I wrote about this Jerry Garcia – Merl Saunders (JGMS) set dated July 22, 1974 and located at the Keystone, Berkeley, some time back. I had suggested that this show (and the one attributed to July 21, 1974, same venue) might not be as it seemed. I initially speculated that it might be…
