  • Jerry and Freddie, mid-March 1972

    Above are the music listings from Night Times, March 8-21, 1972. Check ’em out if you’re interested, of course, but let me be Garciacentric and offer the following tidbit, about the deepening relationship between Jerry Garcia (et al.) and Freddie Herrera: Jerry and Merle [sic] —Night Times misspelled his name without fail through this point,…

  • Color: January 12-25, 1972 Night Times listings

    Here are some listings from the Night Times, with a few scattershot thoughts. 1) The Berkeley Night Times is a gem. 2) It’s especially good re: race.

This is positively stunning, I have to say.…

  • JGMS: Bo Jangle’s, SF, February 11, 1972

    edited, corrected Lost Live Dead and related have inspired me. Sorry to steal your schtick! I don’t get into depth (nor turn a phrase) the way LLD does, but it sure is fun, anyway. So the SF Chronicle is almost certainly loaded with stuff of interest. Unfortunately, unless I am missing something it does not…
