  • HWJG: Quick Questions on the January ’72 East Coast Tour

    Howard Wales and Jerry Garcia (HWJG) is another one of these things about which I have a great deal to say, but no time to get it down except in dribs and drabs. So be it. Quick question or two on the January 1972 east coast tour they did, Jerry’s first non-GD-related paying gigs in…

  • JGMS: January 15, 1972, Keystone Korner, San Francisco, CA

    I have been needing to revisit recordings of the very early Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders stuff, and with a bit of time I thought I’d give this show, from a Saturday in mid-January 1972 at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco, some attention on its birthday. I am not sure who’s drumming … could have been…

  • GD: September 15-16, 1972, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, NY (CANCELED)

    Security & related concerns among the citizenry led to the cancellation of these shows in late August. Advanced ticket sales had already been underway, with ca. 4,000 ducats sold. GD would end up at Boston Music Hall for these dates … not a bad landing, though presumably much, much smaller. REFERENCES Red Wildy, “SPAC Postponing…

  • JGMS: Bo Jangle’s, SF, February 11, 1972

    edited, corrected Lost Live Dead and related have inspired me. Sorry to steal your schtick! I don’t get into depth (nor turn a phrase) the way LLD does, but it sure is fun, anyway. So the SF Chronicle is almost certainly loaded with stuff of interest. Unfortunately, unless I am missing something it does not…
