Insert Pithy Title Here: JGB at Keystone Palo Alto, November 12, 1983
Killer “Don’t Let Go”, and two short sets that foreshadow darker days ahead. Great job on the matrix by AF! update: d’oh! posted a second time about this one. DLG so nice, I had to post it twice.

a great matrix
https://archive.org/details/gd1983-09-10.139379.mtx.seamons.ht112.flac16 My goodness, what a great sounding recording! Garcia is on fire for the whole first set (all I have heard so far). He sounds amazing. The guitar playing is fluent and fiery, the vocals are lucid and not dreadfully junky-sounding. The whole band sounds good. Lots of train references in the first set, even…

Patched out of Yamaguchi/Poris and a set of modded Nak 700s. Someone speculates in notes whether a 3rd mic is operating, because Phil. And, yes, Straw ambling out, and – Phil. And, drums.

Swan Song for JGB #15c: Philly, June 5, 1983
LN jg1983-06-05.jgb.early-late.aud-nak300-minches.76973.flac1644 LN jg1983-06-05.jgb.early-late.aud-peters.138199.flac1644 I consider 5/31/83 at the Roseland Ballroom to be one of the best Garcia Band shows of the 1980s. Six days later, this band, featuring the great and powerful Greg Errico on drums, would play its final two shows at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA. Surprisingly, only two tapes…

The Final “After Midnight”: JGB, March 7, 1983, The Stone
Garcia played J.J. Cale’s “After Midnight” a bunch –by my count, 96 times starting 6/30/72– with a number of different personnel configurations, for about ten years. But then, after Monday March 7, 1983, he just dropped it. A new fileset of 3/7/83 shows me some killer guitar work in “After Midnight”, “Catfish John”, and “Tore…

On the Bus with the Garcia Band
I was going through the tour documents for the Jerry Garcia Band’s November-December 1983 tour, which was unusually long. I haven’t compared the various JGB tours, but this one and/or the late ’77 tour are the two longest I can think of, without double checking. I have more documents from the 70s than the 80s,…
