Maria Muldaur: July 21, 1974, Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA
We know that the world is generating more data than we can handle, and what we need are better aggregators and synthesizers. A case in point would be recollections attached to historical events such as, say, oh, I dunno, rock concerts. At various message boards, torrent sites, discussion groups, etc. (to say nothing of Facebook),…

Pennies From Heaven: Listening to the Tape Known as JGMS 7/21/74
**updated** Here are the reference posts for this set of listening notes: JGMF, “JGMS: “July 21-22,” 1974, Keystone, Berkeley, CA”, 7/25/2010, updated 12/16/2011. JGMF, “Jerry with Merl and/or Martin, ca. 1974, The Sand Dunes”, 5/16/2010. In brief, I am walking back from my speculation that this material is from the Sand Dunes. It’s not. It…

The Tutt Rule: JGMS at the Keystone, June 22, 1975
LN jg1975-06-22.jgms.all.aud-menke-falanga-motb-0048.87236.flac1644 Update: 4/20/2020: I now refer to this as JGMS, because Ron Tutt is not drumming, and Greg Errico is. Less importantly, but not unimportantly, while all of the external materials refer to the group as Legion of Mary, Rex Jackson labeled his tape boxes Jerry & Merl. Sometimes I have a modest tendency…

Third Night Out with Tony Saunders: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, June 6, 1974
**updated 21:18 Eastern 20111213, mostly up front with some more historical context** LN jg1974-06-06.jgms.all.aud-falanga.6375.shn2flac A wonderful tape and a wonderful performance. Tony Saunders on bass, Billy K on the drums. We get to hear what I presume to be Freddie Herrera a time or two, interesting given how central was the Herrera-Garcia partnership over the…

Is Jimmy Here? JGB, Keystone Palo Alto, January 23, 1981
LN jg1981-01-23.jgb.all.aud-latvala.97205.flac1644 Well, I hear some electric piano here (see notes), but I think it’s Melvin. So, as Corry indicated, this (along with 1/22/81) might be a hitherto unknown quartet configuration of Garcia, Kahn, Seals and Shaw — no Jimmy Warren on second keys, as traditionally believed. Otherwise, nothing to write home about, to my…

Listening Notes
If I’ve remembered to tag everything, the Listening Notes label should get you to all of my listening note posts. Otherwise, for reasons that aren’t clear to me, I have decided to keep a running list going over at db.etree.org at http://db.etree.org/jgmf. My thinking is that perhaps I need to use that site to keep…
