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…

Grateful Dead Three Ways: December 20, 1975
Selvin (1975c) reviewed the December 19, 1975 Winterland show billing Keith and Donna Godchaux, Kingfish, and the Jerry Garcia Band as “Grateful Dead Divided Three Ways”. Hence, my title, even though I am working the crossings through the next night. Since I have fallen down the rabbit hole of a long post on 10/17/75, and…

JGB at Queens College, October 30, 1975
LN jg1975-10-30.jgb.all.aud-cooper.124251.flac2496 Have barely had time to write a word about the Hopkins-era JGB these last 4+ years of blogging and hiatuses. That remains true, so the writeup will be short. Bottom line is that I think Nicky sounds really good (i.e., reasonably sober). I sort of figure that the day off the day before…

LN jg1975-04-05.lom.early.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448
So, this show has not really circulated complete, unless it does and I missed it. Nice to hear the John Scher introduction intact. The first 60 minutes have never made the digital jump, as far as I know. There’s a “Creepin’” here, which is conceptually interesting but practically, to my ears, not so much. We…

JGMS February 7-8, 1975: canceled?
The Jerry Site lists JGMS shows for Friday, February 7, 1975 and Saturday, February 8, 1975, based on listing in Hayward Daily Review, 1/31/75, p. 44. The above are clippings of the Keystone’s weekly ads, I don’t know from which paper from the San Francisco Sunday Examiner and Chronicle Datebook, which I lovingly refer to…

A Rare Sight
A Jerryless month in Berkeley: April 1975. I’d bet it was a bad month financially for the Keystone.
