  • “I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes”: JGB at the Warfield, March 4, 1995

    LN jg1995-03-04.jgb.all.aud-sonics.141470.flac1648 I don’t feel like I have time or energy to do a full write-up, so let me try to sketch a few thoughts around a recent listen to taper Wilson66’s very enjoyable Sonic Studios DSM-6 drink rail tape of the Jerry Band on home turf, March 4, 1995. Tone and Technique > Lyrical Precision…

  • Book on Nightstand at Serenity Knolls

    I thought I remember that one of the big Garcia/GD auctions of some years back offered a copy of the book that was found on Jerry’s nightstand at Serenity Knolls. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Anyone remember what book it was?

  • The Penultimate Garcia Band Show

    LN jg1995-04-22.jgb.all.aud-km54.137833.flac1648 Not a ton jumps out at me, though the “Mission In The Rain” has a nice feel, and “My Sisters And Brothers” takes on some country flavor. Jerry Garcia Band The Warfield 982 Market Street San Francisco, CA 94102 April 22, 1995 (Saturday) – 8 PM Neumann KM54 flac1648 shnid-137833 –set I (6…

  • Johnny Too Bad

    I cannot get this song out of my ear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgkZwUDt98o The Slickers, “Johnny Too Bad” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Slickers. “The Slickers were a Jamaican rocksteady and reggae group in the late 1960s and early 1970s.” https://www.discogs.com/Slicker-The-Johnny-Too-Bad/master/630180 looks like first release was 1971 on Punch. One of the youtube versions is said 1970, but discogs 1971 as Panther P-01.…

  • The Garcia Band’s Last Gig (and list of contemporary late-era posts)

    I have finally been dipping my toe into late-period JGB, let’s call it the Donny Baldwin era, JGB #23. See: 9/1/94: I came for the Johnny Too Bad, I Stayed for the Don’t Let Go 9/2/94: Lots to Like About This Old Jerry 9/10/94: Oh My Body | Is Bent and Broken 11/11/94: Simple Twist…

  • Old Garcia Running to the Rock for Rescue

    LN jg1995-03-05.jgb.all.aud-michaelB-goodbear.79634.flac1644 I listened to the second set, and man did I love it. “Shining Star” isn’t may favorite, but the call-and-response with the crowd is nice. Jerry drops on a dime –actually, John first hit the line– into “Johnny Too Bad”, which is very, very good. Wonderful. The return to SS is neat, and…

  • JGB at the Warfield: April 21, 1995

    LN jg1995-04-21.jgb.all.aud-vasseur-ladner.21900.shn2flac Third to last JGB gig, on the home court. A little bit of historical background, some analysis of the musics figuring in the setlist, and a brief note on “Johnny Too Bad” (“my God, this is just great, so full of feeling”) will figure in the listening notes below. Jerry Garcia Band The…

  • Never Get Yo Cornbread Made

    LN jg1995-01-13.jgb.all.aud-vasseur-ladner.21484.shn2flac I almost never listen to 1995. I mean to. And then I did. But then, it turns out that I had already listened to the second set of this show, so the novelty factor was reduced by half. On the flip side, the “study in contrasts” possibilities are wide; in this case, it…
