    Vegas is skeptical that I can do the NRPS-Matrix-1970 thing in seven posts, but I never claimed I’d do them consecutively. And, well, if I happen to cover related terrain, well, that’s just how it goes. And it just so happens that LIA’s post “The Hartbeats – July 1970” mentions some GD material that I’d…

  • GD19700327-29: March 27-29, 1970, “Winter’s End Festival,” Miami, FL (CANCELED)

    [Update 20120303] The Festival was held, in a manner of speaking, but almost every big name act, including the GD, canceled. It sounds like a really disastrous episode. Long narrative in the following: Thomas King Forcade, “Winter’s End: free the Rock & Roll Six,” San Diego Free Door, April 23, 1970, pp. 8, 12, accessed…

  • James and the Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)

    Found this interesting. The New Orleans House ad from the Berkeley Tribe v.3 n.15 (issue 67) (October 16-23, 1970), p. 21 lists “James & The Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)” for Friday-Saturday, October 13-14, 1970. Corry has said this about the connection between the bands: James and The Good Brothers were a Canadian…

  • Near-Miss with the Rubber Duck Mime Band: June 2-3, 1970, Mandrake’s, Berkeley, CA

    WAS TITLED “NRPS: June 2-3, 1970, Mandrake’s, Berkeley, CA” But Paul Dresher has confirmed that, while Garcia was in the ad, he did not play this night. So, the Mandrake’s ad from the Berkeley Tribe v2 n21 (issue 47) (May 29 – June 5, 1970), p. 16, lists the following for Tuesday & Wednesday, June…
