  • Jacklyn

    I see that I have consistently misspelled Jackie LaBranch’s name as “Jaclyn”, instead of Jacklyn. Because I list personnel in listening notes, there are probably at least several dozen instances of this misspelling. I don’t have time to go back and correct this. I have corrected the tag along the right side of the blog,…

  • Come back for Garcia Band. Come back, come back.

    LN jg1978-03-10.interview.all.fm-zimmerman.82210.flac1644 I love these March ’78 interviews. 3/11/78 is my absolute favorite, all kinds of great stuff. This one has less going on, but still interesting to the likes of me.

  • The Little Engine That Could

    LN jg1978-03-10.jgb.all.aud-zimmerman-minches.80887.flac1644 Love this image of Jerry’s face on a locomotive. The show didn’t do that much for me, though I do give rare praise to Dixie Down. Reviewer paints a picture of the Dirty F$%^ing Hippies and assorted others: The dressing room backstage at the Auditorium Theater [sic] has that lived-in look. The air…

  • Magic at the Edge of the Western World

  • Mr. Sandoz Dilaudid

    I have a memory of hearing Phil say this over the PA during one of the Dead’s Egypt shows, but I have no idea if this was just a dream I dreamed, it happened at another show, something like this but not exactly like this happened, or something else. Does this ring a bell to…

  • Woody’s Rag

    For years, I have wanted to know the name of the second song from the first “real” live Garcia-Grisman gig, 2/2/91 at the Warfield, which has always just been identified as “Instrumental”. It starts at 7:20 of the embedded video. (It was also the second song of the second night, 2/3/91, starting at about 7:50…

  • Black Mountain Boys date

    I don’t really do pre-Dead, but I found this, don’t see it at JGC, don’t know where else there might be show lists for pre-Dead bands, and thought I might as well put it here. The “Marri-Eds” sponsored a hootenanny at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on March 25, 1964, featuring The Couriers, Lino with…

  • The Great Barcia

    Rock Scully’s book occasionally referred to Jerry as “the Great Barcia“. I had originally thought it was Salvador Dalí, but looking back, I guess not. It still tickles me. This just came back to mind as I came across two ads, a month apart, for Reconstruction at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz on 3/31/79. Someone…

  • Legion of Mary at 8162 Melrose, March 7, 1975

    LN jg1975-03-07.lom.early.aud-ladner.23338.shn2flac I wanted to hear “The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game”, the only circulating version from this time period, so I revisited the whole show.
