  • I sing the blues, where has it led?

    LN jg1983-05-31.jgb.all.aud-vita.76578.flac1644 On Tuesday, May 31, 1983, the Jerry Garcia Band (#15c) lit up an SRO West 52nd Street institution, the venerable Roseland Ballroom, with one of the finest shows of the 1980s.  On any given night, Jerry Garcia could deliver the fucking goods, and this is the fucking goods. Everything crackles. I have titled…

  • Second night out for Kemper: The Stone, 7/21/83

    Second night out for drummer David Kemper and Gloria Jones. See also “First Night Out for Kemper: The Stone, 7/20/83 (WED).” This was conventionally considered the second show for vocalist Gloria Jones, but the late ’83 Garcia Band tour still featured DeeDeeDickerson, raising doubts about a summer time switchover. It’s still possible, but as of…

  • JGB: female vocalists, late 1983 east coast tour

    update 2016: there is overwhelming evidence that DeeDee Dickerson took part in the late ’83 JGB tour. She is on the band’s tour documents. As of 2/19/2019, I believe DeeDee was present until at least 5/19/84; the earliest confirmed reference I can find to Gloria Jones dates to 8/11/84. update 2020: Gloria’s first show appears…
