  • Documenting the JGB – February 26, 1976 – Del Mar Theatre, Santa Cruz, CA

    Continuing this little Santa Cruz series, I thought I’d use the next gig to lay out some nomenclature. A little taxonomy to tempt your tastebuds. Institutionalized Practices The current title only came to me after I had just posted this more generically. It currently reads “Documenting the JGB” to complement the Billing and Accounting posts…

  • JGMS: October 11, 1974 – Chateau Liberté, Los Gatos, CA

    Unlike 3/22/74, a date for which I found no trace of a Garcia-Saunders gig at the Chateau Liberté, the Friday, October 11, 1974 gig there, for which we have some wonderful recollections from Michael Parrish, yielded a few paper remnants. Ironically, I believe that tapes circulating with this date are mislabeled hodgepodges of 1974 soundboard…

  • OAITW – October 5, 1973, Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA

    Ahhh, beautiful, beautiful libraries. Below is the stuff I found around the Old And In The Way gig played Friday, October 5, 1973 at the Civic Auditorium, 307 Church Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 [map | Jerrybase | JGC | JGBP]. cryptdev was in attendance! Let me first note, because I can’t resist the pretty colors,…

  • Best no. 47 (June 1972)

  • JGMS March 22, 1974 – Chateau Liberté

    The McNally-Arnold JG List included Garcia-Saunders on March 22, 1974 at the Chateau Liberté. I presently list the address as 22700 Old Santa Cruz Highway, Los Gatos, CA 95033 [map | JGBP | JGC | Cryptical Developments | see also LLD]. I know of no documentation of this in the public realm, just the listing,…

  • Carousel, May 22, 1968 – Jerry Garcia and others

    Garcia and others are listed for the Carousel on May 22, 1968. According to a report in Billboard (Lehman 1968), this was a benefit concert to promote bringing jazz into schools, with an organization called the Jazz Action Movement (JAM). San Francisco Express Times, May 22, 1968, p. 14. The night before circulates from Bear’s…

  • Context: 19681009-19681013 Express Times listings

    McHenry Library at UCSC has one random roll of the great San Francisco Express Times from the turbulent year of 1968.  I have some holes in my collection of listings from that paper in that year, had lots of other really specific stuff to get into, but had a few brief moments to spin some…

  • Context: September 1976 BAM Listings

    Up to three pages, lots of ads. Well done, hip young capitalists! p. 25 finds the usual stuff. I am a little confused about address of the Green Earth, here listed as 1810 Market, with another place, the Omnibus, at 1821 Haight. I assume this is a typesetting problem, need to double-check. Some Country Joe…

  • Context: August 1976 BAM Listings

  • Context: July 1976 BAM Listings

    I intend this stuff for future historians, not to take up Corry’s precious time! BAM no. 5 sees the live music listings expanding to two pages. Probably the same quantity of listings, but now there are ads to go along with them. The publication is doing some business! Lots of interesting stuff here, as always.…
