  • Jersey Shore, Jerry and Scher (VN jg1977-07-09.jgb.early)

    In July 1977, the Jerry Garcia Band went out east for a few big paydays playing for John Scher in Hempstead, NY and two shows on the Jersey Shore, at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park. I have reported on the first night (7/8) and on the 7/9 late show from an audience tape.  Lots…

  • ‘Drink ’em up, it’s the last one’: JGB at Keystone Palo Alto, July 23, 1977

     LN jg1977-07-23.jgb.all.sbd-miller.30662.flac1644 Meh. This doesn’t light me up. Equipment gremlins running amok, things never achieve escape velocity to my ears.

  • His voice is fading fast: JGB at SUNY New Paltz, 11/29/77

    LN jg1977-11-29.jgb.all.aud-cooper.berger.124217.flac2496 I have already posted about the fascinating setlist rarity, “Here Comes The Sun” popping up in the middle of “Stir It Up”. Neat. Beyond that, I note that this is a pivotal moment in Garcia’s singing. Everything’s still arranged around the highs he could hit early in 1976 and 1977. But in the…

  • Maria ‘Shaking Her Substantial Booty’ at Waterbury’s ‘Decrepit Palace Theater’: JGB 11/23/77, Commander aud

    LN jg1977-11-23.jgb.all.aud-commander-berger.123904.flac1644 I have always had big love for this show. On this listen, the only song that really lights me up is TWLWMYD. (ed.: Blair Jackson points out Mission in the Rain, which is indeed stellar, deep and heartfelt. Good call.) Not sure if that’s because I am not in the mood, or this…

  • No Donna Tough Mama

  • Rockabilly JGB Doing Not Fade Away: July 9, 1977

     LN jg1977-07-09.jgb.late-2.aud-strange-miller.124426.flac1644 Not a whole ton to say, not a ton of time, so I’ll just bullet. Donna is absent. I wonder why? I need to document her 1977 absences, because there was a good number. “Not Fade Away” is a JGB singleton, and is very interesting. Jerry is super-fired up for it and does…

  • JGB: June 23, 1977: Benefit Concert for the Survival of the Forest Community of Camp Meeker

    On Thursday, June 23, 1977, Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) out-of-pattern early and late shows at Santa Rosa High School. High school gigs were pretty unusual for Garcia at any point (beyond early Grateful Dead), but by the late 1970s it almost always meant that there was some personal connection, somehow, to Garcia. For example, Garcia-Kahn…
