On Accuracy
The recent June 5th brought out more than a tiny number of people to recognize the Oregon State Penintiery show on the anniversary of its performance — June 5, 1982 — rather than on the date given by the old bootleg tape. Because the bootleg was one of the mostly widely held Garcia recordings in…

Southwest Jerry with the JGB #15b No-Longer-A-Mystery Singers: Mesa and Austin, October 30 – November 1, 1982
LN jg1982-10-30.jgb.all.aud-maurins.120334.flac1644 LN jg1982-11-01.jgb.all.aud-dogman.100575.flac1644 I have recently copped to the fact that I have no idea who the backing vocalists are from October 24, 1982 to November 15, 1982, comprising a swing south to LA and Arizona, east across Texas (Austin and Houston) and to New Orleans, and up the eastern seaboard. It hurts me to have…

I Have A Confession To Make
I do not know who the JGB backing vocalists were between October 24, 1982 and November 15, 1982 I have posted many, many times about the early 80s backing vocalists (see Appendix below). Our understanding of who was who, and when, was greatly abetted by the fact that Corry Arnold took notes from the GD…

Kabuki Acoustics
LN jg1982-08-23.jgjk.early-late.aud-menke-connor.12586.shn2flac LN jg1984-06-03.jgjk.all.sbd-unknown.81273.shn2flac Bill Graham ran the Kabuki Nightclub in Japantown for a few years in the early 1980s, and Garcia played twice, both times acoustic with ol’ buddy John Kahn. I am not a huge fan of the Garcia-Kahn acoustic duet, and these shows do nothing to move me from that basic position. Jerry still…

Long Ago and Far Away: JGB at Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME, June 20, 1982
LN jg1982-06-20.jgb.all.aud-lamarre.139447.flac2496 Great pull by Doug Lamarre, very good JGB from the strong month of June 1982. Bobby Cochran and Bob Weir from Bobby and the Midnites sit in on the encore, which includes the JGB singleton “Johnny B. Goode”. Jerry sounds quite strong. Two new tunes stand out. “Valerie” holds some serious heavy-metal appeal, and…

Jerry Garcia at the Warfield – August 21, 1982??
What a strange thing this is. SFC listing for Jerry Garcia at the Warfield, August 21, 1982. It almost certainly wasn’t JGB: that band had last played June 24 out east, and wouldn’t play again (in a new configuration) until October 13th. It was almost certainly planned to be the Garcia/Kahn acoustic duo, two days…

Kean College Tour Closer: JGB, November 15, 1982 (Late Show)
jg1982-11-15.jgb.late-1.aud-vita-minches.78008.flac1644 Pretty standard late ’82 gig to my ears, not the equal to 11/11/82 late or 11/13/82, IMO. Errico’s Gatling Gun start to HTC is awesome. Three little oddities jump out to my pattern-obsessed brain. First, no early show tape. Hm. Second … , both the Vita aud and the soundboard tape are missing the encore. Hm. never…

Armistice Day Rocker: JGB at Felt Forum, November 11, 1982
JGB #15b played two long, smoking shows for John Scher and the assembled faithful on Thursday, November 11, 1982. Among these faithful was taper Jim Wise, who pulled two beautiful, powerful tapes from the theater inside Madison Square Garden. If forced to choose, I’d recommend the late show to you. Clocking in at 108 minutes…
