  • NRPS 12/15/73 Winterland w/ guests

    Uhhh, wow. The amazing NRPS archivist Rob Bleetstein not only responded to my query about the source for the NRPS official concert history listing that shows Garcia (guitar) and Sandy Rothman (banjo) sitting in with the New Riders on “Glendale Train”, 12/15/73 at Winterland (see also Corry). I say, he not only responded to my…

  • Fantasy-Keystone Cross-Promotion

    All Good Things – Jerry Garcia Studio Sessions I can be a picky consumer, but I tip my hat to the market for the quantity and quality of Garcia music that has come available for purchase. Let’s hear it for the price mechanism! I won’t get into detail on the masterful 2004 box All Good…

  • JGMS in San Diego 11/18/73 probably rained out

    The List has long given Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders at the Aztec Bowl, San Diego State College (I think it was still this C and not a U at the time), November 18, 1973. Because Garcia and Saunders had barely played out of the Bay Area by that time (Ash Grove in LA 5/29-30/73,…

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

    Ahhh, beautiful, beautiful libraries.

Let me first note, because I can’t resist the pretty colors,…

    “I realized that in the excitement of meeting Jerry Garcia I had pissed all over my white boots with alligator tips”

  • March 23, 1975 – Jerry Garcia Interview

    I don’t know who the interviewer is, nor the radio station from which this particular recorded. It is the first track of shnid-126296. This is the interview Jerry gave before the SNACK Benefit at Kezar Stadium. Sounds like reading the newspapers around the time of the show will prove interesting, mismanagement of budgets by bureaucrats…

  • Legal Aid for Unnamed Angels

    LN jg1973-10-02.jgms.all.sbd-alligator.83809.flac1644 I am sure Blair and McNally and all the other sources go into the obscure story of the Legal Aid Benefit. I just re-read the one source I have at hand, John Wasserman’s very suspicious-sounding piece in the Chronicle a few days later (1). Sounds like some Angels, facilitated by Sam Cutler and…
