  • Jerry Garcia, January 17, 1972-January 29, 1972

    Here’s a visualization of the Garciaverse from January 17-29, 1972. This being blogger, I hope you can see it. “Jerry Garcia, January 17, 1972-January 29, 1972” Here is the Codebook as PDF. There’s no particular reason I am showing this slice, just wanted to give you all a look at how some of the cancellations…

  • Reading Notes: Signpost to a New Space and Stoned Sunday Rap

    These are “reading notes” – little stuff I cull when I read. I copy and paste the quotes into thematic documents (e.g., drugs.docx), so all of this has been “processed” out of the book, and up one level, into thematic or other kinds of buckets. You may not find the quotes of greatest interest to…

  • Grateful Dead at New Monk, Berkeley, ca. June-July 1971

    One night I went to hear Jerry play a gig with Merle [sic] Saunders at a small place in Berkeley and one by one, for ‘no reason’, the rest of the Dead showed up too, and eventually they got on the stage and started playing — Charles Reich, Spring 1972 (Reich 2003 [1972], xv). Assuming…

  • Signpost to a New Space and Stoned Sunday Rap – Dates

    I have just finished transcribing the parts of particular interest to me from Signpost to a New Space and the Stoned Sunday Rap (Garcia, Reich and Wenner 2003 [1972]), and I have now posted reading notes. Me being me, I have always wondered about the dates of these sessions. Here is the timeline for what…

  • David Grisman and Peter Rowan at the Freight and Salvage, December 29, 1972

    I wonder what they played?

  • JGMS, July 12, 1972, Town & Country, Ben Lomond

    This has been in my paper files and, looking for something for Corry, I found something else he might be interested in, as we all must be: an ad for a previously unregistered Jerry Garcia – Merle [sic] Saunders – Tom Fogerty – Bill Vitt – and Friends (John Kahn must have counted as two)…

  • Circular on Mickey Hart and Rolling Thunder

    “Mickey Hart: Off the Road and Into His Head,” Circular 4, 36 (September 11, 1972), 2 pp. Warner Brothers pimped Mickey Hart’s Rolling Thunder (BS 2635) in its “weekly news device” Circular for its September 1972 release. As I found with an earlier edition of Circular (“Keith. And, Modernity”), this one holds various pieces of…

  • JGMS: December 27-28, 1972 – Lion’s Share

    San Francisco Chronicle music listings, December 27, 1972, p. 44. Garcia-Saunders-Fogerty at the Lion’s Share in San Anselmo, December 27-28, 1972, as listed in San Francisco Chronicle, December 27, 1972, p. 44. Both the Hayward Daily Review and Berkeley Barb at various points listed Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, contrary to circulating Garcia-Saunders tape…

  • JGMS October 5, 1972 – Keystone – new to The List

    I have Friday and Saturday shows in The List, but this Thursday listing is new to me.

  • Fragments

    Look at how my eye focuses – I want the listings big enough to read, and I want the publication information along with them, if possible. That’s the scanning area I created and captured here. Look what gets cut, “on the margins” of my view, you might say. Besides the adult theaters, there’s some Maya…
