  • NRPS: Gypsy Cowboy (Columbia KC-31930, 1972)

    Anyone know the recording location/dates of this album? I assume that this was at Heider’s, since the great Stephen Barncard gets production and engineering credits. I see there’s a blog called “Recording Wally Heider” … I’d love to see more emerge there, though I haven’t really poked around. Anyone know the release date? Since the…

    This is shnid-99222, a somewhat degraded soundboard tape of Old And In The Way (OAITW) with Richard Greene on fiddle. I had mentioned it when it first came out. update: I surmise that this is Thursday, April 12, 1973, Granada Theatre, 1216 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA. It’s not certain by any stretch, but that’s what…

  • JGMS: February 16, 1974, Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ (CANCELED)

    Village Voice, January 10, 1974, p. 40 An ad for a show by Jerry Garcia, Merle [sic] Saunders, John Kahn and Bill Kreutzmann (call ’em Garcia/Saunders, or JGMS), with Sons of Champlin opening, Saturday, February 16, 1974 at the Capitol Theatre, 326 Monroe Street, Passaic, NJ, 07055. This is positively stunning, I have to say.…

  • GD in Walnut Creek; East Bay Psychedelic Scene?

    Can anyone anywhere add anything about these three Grateful Dead shows in Walnut Creek, CA? Little is known about the first, and next-to-nothing about the second two. **update 20150905: the 1968 shows have been demystified** 1. Grateful Dead, Sunday, October 23, 1966: Gymnasium, Las Lomas High School, 1460 South Main Street,Walnut Creek, CA 94596-5383. Deadlists:…

  • Pedantry

    Just wanna mention that there’s an amazing literature on blogging as a, or an aspect of the, scholarly vocation. I know of it but I haven’t read it. For me, the most relevant aspect would be how standards of evidence and citation have evolved, and where they stand. E.g., is there an authoritative “best practice”…

  • OAITW late summer 1973 advertised shows: probably didn’t happen.

    Boy oh boy has it been quiet in the blogosphere that I know (here, LLD, and chez LIA). Busy busy busy with other things. So, just to warm back up, I figured I’d grab a small random thing. At various places and times I had speculated on/wondered about some possible Old And In The Way…

  • The Last Quartet Show

    LN jg1982-10-23.jgb.all.aud-knudsen-GEMS.112275.flac1644 This show is the last for the short-lived October ’82 quartet configuration, which did a quartet of shows on 10/13/82, 10/21-22/82, and this night. In Guerneville on the 24th, backing vocalists would augment the ranks. If I am not mistaken, this could be the last show the JGB ever played as a quartet…

  • An Evening With the Gratetul Dead

    edited 20110502 am LN jg1970-05-01.gd.all-126mins.sbd-miller.95683.flac1644 It is presently “commonly known” that the “An Evening With The Grateful Dead” show concept / set format debuted in Alfred, NY on Friday, May 1, 1970 [Jerrybase | shnid-95683 | archive.org]. McNally (2002, 366) narrates things this way, Deadlists’ entry presents the show in conventional AEWTGD form, and so…
