  • John Scher, part 4 of 4: Jerry Garcia, Bill Bradley and the price of concert tickets

    John Scher, part 4 of 4: Jerry Garcia, Bill Bradley and the price of concert tickets Podcast of interview with John Scher. A minute or so in he tells the story of bailing Garcia and Hunter out for a pot bust in New Jersey. Goes until the 5-minute mark. Given that he is discussing this…

  • LN jg1973-xx-xx.oaitw.88mins.sbd-PNW.99222.flac1644

    This is shnid-99222, a somewhat degraded soundboard tape of Old And In The Way (OAITW) with Richard Greene on fiddle. I had mentioned it when it first came out. update: I surmise that this is Thursday, April 12, 1973, Granada Theatre, 1216 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA. It’s not certain by any stretch, but that’s what…

  • OAITW late summer 1973 advertised shows: probably didn’t happen.

    Boy oh boy has it been quiet in the blogosphere that I know (here, LLD, and chez LIA). Busy busy busy with other things. So, just to warm back up, I figured I’d grab a small random thing. At various places and times I had speculated on/wondered about some possible Old And In The Way…

  • OAITW: Homer’s Warehouse, July 24, 1973

    **This is an update to a post originally made 9/19/2010, now updated as of 12/28/2014** In a first draft of this post, I used the occasion of a listen to an Old And In The Way set from Homer’s Warehouse in Palo Alto from Tuesday, July 24, 1973 to drop a few crumbs. I have…

  • Where was Garcia on July 26 or 29, 1973?

    My previous post contemplated where Garcia was on July 4, 1973, based on ads published in a bluegrass magazine. This post does precisely the same thing for July 26 or 29, 1973. As you can see, Jerry Garcia is listed among the acts appearing at the First Annual West Virginia Peace, Love, Blues and Bluesgrass…

  • Where was Garcia on July 4, 1973?

    I don’t really know. I have him with the GD at the Universal Ampitheatre in Universal City, CA on June 29 – July 1, and then at the Lion’s Share on July 5 with Merl. July 4 was a Wednesday, but Garcia seemed like a vaguely patriotic guy (in a U.S. Blues sort of way!)…

  • Jerry Garcia and Round Records

    (Parenthetically, the Grateful Dead Archives at UC Santa Cruz will eventually, hopefully, allow us to get a great close look at some of these hitherto opaque business/economic issues. Go, Nick, Go! But I pregress.) I have just been eyeballing some articles that appeared in the amazing, incredible, Golden Road, edited by Blair Jackson and Regan…

  • Garcia, Gravenites, Jules Broussard: ca. 1973, San Quentin Prison

    **update: I have it in my mind that this never happened. I spoke with Nick the Greek once and seem to have come away with that idea** On 4/29/90, Garcia sat in with “Nick Gravenites and Animal Mind” for a Brian Wilson Defense Fund Benefit at the South of Market Cultural Center in San Francisco.…

  • JGMS: July 11, 1973, Keystone, Berkeley, CA

    A while back I did a little miniseries linking the July 1973 Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders shows at Keystone Berkeley to the official releases. I did it from the show perspective and from the album perspective. I.e., July 10, 1973: what goes on which albums; Live at Keystone, vol. 1 (CD): which songs come from which…

  • OAITW: September 7, 1973, First Annual Harpers Ferry West Virginia Indian Summer Bluegrass Folk Music Festival, Harpers Ferry, WV (UNCERTAIN)

    Man, what a mouthful some of these bluegrass festival names are. And what’s with the “Indian Summer” thing? Scanning through Muleskinner News, it comes up a lot. An ad in Muleskinner News v4 n8 (August 1973), p. 37, announces the titular festival and lists, among the acts for Friday, September 7 (12 noon to midnight)…
