  • The Dates of All of the Tracks on the Late-Era Arista JGB Releases

    Internaut jmoleton posted sometime back a more or less complete set of dates for the 1990s-2000s official JGB releases, Jerry Garcia Band (1991), How Sweet It Is (1997), and Shining Star (2001), over at the Workingman’s Tracker. I have appropriated jmoleton’s info, asked commenter Nick to check a few things, verified a few things myself,…

  • Reading Notes: Henke 1991

    I wasn’t paying attention at the time, but my sense is that these September 1991 interviews (I think there might have been some separate remarks in the Boston Globe) caused a good deal of consternation in Deadlandia – and why not? The golden-egg-laying-goose sounds like he’d love to leave the reservation at this point. Lots…

  • more Garcia summer 1991 cancellations

    Jerry Garcia Band (electric) was scheduled to play Frost Amphitheatre at Stanford University on July 14, 1991, but July 11th announced that Citing “mounting health problems,” Jerry Garcia has postponed his upcoming tour dates, including his show scheduled for Sunday at Frost Amphitheater. This ended up being canceled. I had earlier noted that that summer’s…

  • Reading Notes: Henke 1991

  • At Wolfgang’s Warfield: JGB, March 2, 1991 orchestra tape

    LN jg1991-03-02.jgb.all.aud-mk4-orchestra.123611.flac1648 Obviously I don’t get much into the 1990s, though I’ll need to do more to do the whole GOTS story justice. (seealso: JGB 3/1/91 listening notes) This is a totally professional gig, musically excellent. Old Jerry has his charms. He’s a sophisticated storyteller and themeweaver on the guitar. I have performance notes below,…

  • The Grateful Dead: Top-Grossing Act of 1991

    I just picked up a copy of Pollstar‘s 1991 Year-End Special Edition, entitled Year of the Dead, dated December 31, 1991. Though I don’t do much GD stuff, blogger’s stats tell me that GD posts are the most popular. People are funny. But I digress. One of the reasons I don’t do it is that…

  • 19910810 JGB French’s Camp Piercy CA (Fifth Annual Electric on the Eel)

    Jerry Garcia Band played the Fifth Annual Electric on the Eel event  put on by Bill Graham Presents and the Hogfarm at French’s Camp near Piercy, CA on Saturday, August 10, 1991. I don’t get into the 90s as much, needless to say, but since this just came up elsewhere I thought I’d just lay…
