  • “JGMS 5/20/71” is probably really JGMS 5/20/71

    The tape traveling as Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, May 20, 1971, Keystone Korner (a.k.a. xx/xx/71 and 5/xx/71) probably really is Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, May 20, 1971, Keystone Korner (750 Vallejo Street, San Francisco, CA 94133) [map | JGC | JGBP | shnid-93137 | shnid-100855 | shnid-126365 |shnid-126389 and listening notes] The most…

  • JGMS September 9, 1971 – Harding Theater – New to The List

    A few years ago we had a good time talking around some putative Dead shows at the Harding Theater, 616  Divisadero, on September 3-4, 1971. These shows have never been known from anything other than the listing I found, and they may not have happened. I mentioned there the odd cluster of September 1971 Garciavents…

  • NRPS w/o Jerry, pre-Buddy?

    I had found some listings from June that had NRPS playing at a time when Garcia was known to be unavailable, June 21, 1971. I wondered what they did for pedal steel, but the question became moot when I scrolled ahead a day and found a cancellation notice. Questions, answers, questions: I have found another…

  • Szabo’s Santana Sit-In, or, Santana’s Jubilant Jam

    I didn’t see this listed at the great Santanamigos site (1971), so I thought I’d post it here: Santana sitting in with Gabor Szabo at the Concord [Jazz?] Festival, Sunday, August 15, 1971.

  • NRPS: July 24-25, 1971, New Monk – New to The List

    listing: “Rock, Jazz This Week in Bay Area,” SFC, July 23, 1971, p. 45. New Riders are scheduled to play Freddie Herrera’s New Monk Saturday-Sunday, July 24-25, 1971. Commander Cody slated to open. New to The List.

  • Tom Fogerty, Merl Saunders and Friends – June 25, 1971 Keystone Korner

    The title gives a listing found in “The Music Scene–Complete Listings,” SFC, June 25, 1971, p. 43. Further down the same listing is Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders and Tom Fogerty at New Monk on Saturday-Sunday (June 26-27, 1971). I certainly do wonder if Jerry was a “Friend” at the Friday show in the City. Perhaps…

  • NRPS June 21-23, 1971 Boarding House – CANCELED

    San Francisco Chronicle, June 21, 1971, p. 47. Here’s an interesting one that I don’t quite know what to do with – NRPS and Rowan Bothers playing the Boarding House June 21-23, 1971. Of course, Garcia was in France on 6/21, and even gaining back 7 or 8 hours he probably couldn’t have been back…

  • JGMS: May 25, 1971 Keystone Korner: new to The List

    San Francisco Chronicle, May 24, 1971, p. 42. Garcia and Saunders listed for Tuesday, May 25, 1971 at Keystone Korner. New to The List. More color around Friends and Relations and the Tuesday Fillmore West auditions.

  • JGMS: Matrix, May 11-12, 1971

    There is a great half-hour tape labeled as Garcia-Saunders at the Matrix, May 11, 1971. I had always thought it was a little suspect, as I had never seen any other corroborating information, though it is listed at the Chicken’s Matrix List. This calendar listing from the San Francisco Chronicle (May 10, 1971, p. 45)…

  • Early Chez Panisse

    Photog John Humble gets a nice shot of Chez Panisse, not long after it opened. Accompanies a positive review by Hut Landon, entitled “A new French restaurant in an old Berkeley house”,” Night Times, September 15-28, 1971, p. 2.
