Firing On All Cylinders: JGB at the SF Civic, December 22, 1990
LN jg1990-12-22.jgb.all.aud-stucco-gems.149794.flac1648 When you say something sucked, or point to some darkness, you are scandal-mongering. When you rave, your are homer-fanboying. In all cases it’s subjective. But, fuck it – it’s my blog, and these are my impressions, and if you want to compare notes put ’em in comments or somewhere’s else I can find ’em!…

Taper Extraordinaire Sean Webber-Small
Spinning Sean Webber-Small’s spaced omni recordings of the GD at Cal Expo on this date in 1990. I am not sure if I was there – I don’t think so, but I can’t really remember and I can’t find my stubs to verify one way or the other. But SWS generously shares some insights into…

JGB19900302: Saturday, March 2, 1990, Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, CA
update: this was originally posted some years ago. I accidentally reposted it today. It looks like it is not perfectly together – you get what you pay for. I wanted to try a little experiment by just unpacking a single show. I am not a very effective “prosopographer”, so I can’t do what Corry does,…

Let’s Spend the (Wednesday) Night Together
November 21, 1990, a Wednesday night, Garcia played a killer “Let’s Spend The Night Together,” featuring what the seeder notes as “relentless, furious” guitar work. Indeed. “Tears Of Rage” and “Tore Up Over You” also stand out. Pack of Wolves opened, for the record. Jerry Garcia Band The Warfield 982 Market Street San Francisco, CA…

June 1990 at the Warfield
The post-coma Garcia Band was getting hotter and hotter from 1987-1989, in my view, and somewhere along the line two kinds of business/money decisions were made. First, it’d start regularly playing the Warfield, which I think had been recently renovated, for Wolfgang. JGB played fifteen gigs at 982 Market in 1990 –February 2-4, March 1-2,…

Desolation Row
Man, at like 9:30 of this incredible, late-Mydland era Dead version of Dylan’s “Desolation Row”(track 4) Garcia thrusts into a scuba-evoking scream of Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow harmonizing behind Weir, who delivers a BOAT-contending version. Outstanding! Thanks to Joani Walker, Paul Scotton, Charlie Miller for the tunes. ! song:…
