JGB at Northwestern: Cahn Auditorium, March 12, 1976 (late show)
LN jg1976-03-12.jgb.late.aud-unk.xxxxx.flac1644 My love of audience tapes is evident to anyone who reads here. The anthropological instinct (and practice) underpinning field recording enthralls me. To me, everybody who ever taped a gig is right there with Alan Lomax and all the rest. Now, sometimes you have to be willing to sacrifice your aesthetics a little…

If there were more time, I’d like to talk about “Who Was John?”, elaborate on the racial structure of the music, the unevenness of this period (March-April 1976). But there’s not time, so just a data dump. Jerry Garcia Band Cahn Auditorium, Northwestern University 600 Emerson StreetEvanston, IL 60201 March 12, 1976 (Friday) 55 minute…

JGB in Memphis, March 28, 1976
**updated** I made this post to ask about this show, which has always been shrouded in some mystery and confusion. It is listed, without comment, on the McNally-Arnold JG List. TJS has had a note, information of unknown provenance, that the show was canceled “due to an illness in the band.” I also had a…

Ambassador Garcia
LN jg1976-03-27.jgb.s1s2p.aud-mcdonald.110281.flac1644 The March-April 1976 Jerry Garcia Band tour is an interesting one. This was the quintet of Garcia, Kahn, Tutt, Godchaux and Godchaux. Let me just make a quick mention of the year overall, then make a few notes about the tour, before discussing this tape of the Jerry Garcia Band, Ambassador Theatre, St.…

Bravo, Corry! The John Rich Question is indeed a great mystery.See Corry’s post for the details of the question. I am sure I’ll have to update this post several times, but I wanted to take the second I have available to get started with a reply. I love this mystery. I agree with Corry that…

Just for Giggles
On Deadnetcentral (DNC), there used to be ongoing banter between manly lovers of 1977 GD and sissified lovers of 1976. DNC user Chimbley made this up, with apologies to Berkeley Breathed. (http://pages.cthome.net/chimbley/images/76Weenies-b.jpg) IMO, it never gets old, and I wanted to preserve it here for posterity. Thanks for helping me laugh many, many times over…
