http://www.flickr.com/photos/dgans/535231392/ “Title: Bob and Betty. dgans’s description: Robert Hunter and a bewigged Betty Cantor-Jackson in the parking lot of Club Front in San Rafael CA, November 1977. I think it was Sonny Heard’s bike.” There’s a little more of the story of the wig if you click through. What a fantastic photograph. It’s got the…

Punch in, mail it in for 90 minutes, punch out and party some more: JGB at the Cap Passaic, 11/26/77b
LNjg1977-11-26.jgb.late.anderson.85051.flac1644 Something told me I wanted to listen to something from the Cats Under the Stars– era sextet of Garcia, Kahn, Buzz Buchanan, Keith and Donna Godchaux, and Maria Muldaur, and I wanted it to be a recording I hadn’t made notes on. So, here’s what I found: 11/26/77, late show. psilo.com This is a…

A Monster Don’t Let Go at Hartwick College, December 3, 1977
LN jg1977-12-03.jgb.90mins.aud-unk-russell.LOSSY.flac1644 update whenever: seems like this material is lossy. One hopes the source tapes can be located and archived at higher resolution (on the sonic plane for sure, but also informationally!). Not a huge amount to say. A show that has been MiA, around which some setlist uncertainty remains. See my overly baroque notes below.…

I’d guess the germ of this tradition formed in 1973, when Garcia and Saunders played the Hell’s Angels Forever gig on the S.S. Bay…

The mystery of the Jerry Garcia Band 11/28/77 ticket stubs
I just don’t know what to make of this. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, are five unique ticket stubs for a Jerry Garcia show at SUNY Stony Brook (Gym) on November 28, 1977. There is another stub that used to be linked from the Jerry Site which is distinct from these five.…

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…

8/28/77?
NB: question resolved, update in separate post. A calendar listing in Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph, August 27, 1977, p. 22D, indicates a show on Sunday, August 28, 1977 at Folsom Field in Boulder featuring Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Dave Mason, Jerry Jeff Walker, Stillwater and Jerry Garcia. I am going to check the Denver/Boulder papers for…
