Righteousness, and Two Guests: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, February 16, 1974
LN jg1974-02-16.jgms.all.sbd-alligator.91471.flac1644 A few days ago I posted about an advertised but canceled Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders band gig (Kahn and Kreutzmann rounding things out) scheduled for 2/16/74 at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. I irresponsibly dropped a few notes about the replacement show for the night, and here I follow up on…

JGMS: February 16, 1974, Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ (CANCELED)
Village Voice, January 10, 1974, p. 40 An ad for a show by Jerry Garcia, Merle [sic] Saunders, John Kahn and Bill Kreutzmann (call ’em Garcia/Saunders, or JGMS), with Sons of Champlin opening, Saturday, February 16, 1974 at the Capitol Theatre, 326 Monroe Street, Passaic, NJ, 07055. This is positively stunning, I have to say.…

James and the Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)
Found this interesting. The New Orleans House ad from the Berkeley Tribe v.3 n.15 (issue 67) (October 16-23, 1970), p. 21 lists “James & The Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)” for Friday-Saturday, October 13-14, 1970. Corry has said this about the connection between the bands: James and The Good Brothers were a Canadian…

Near-Miss with the Rubber Duck Mime Band: June 2-3, 1970, Mandrake’s, Berkeley, CA
WAS TITLED “NRPS: June 2-3, 1970, Mandrake’s, Berkeley, CA” But Paul Dresher has confirmed that, while Garcia was in the ad, he did not play this night. So, the Mandrake’s ad from the Berkeley Tribe v2 n21 (issue 47) (May 29 – June 5, 1970), p. 16, lists the following for Tuesday & Wednesday, June…

Second Guitarist, No Martin: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, July 12, 1974
19740712: Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders: Friday, July 12, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley, CA. There is a second guitarist on this show. I am concluding it’s David Nelson, but I am really uncertain. Can anyone else with this recording take a listen? Can anyone shed any more light? Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders Keystone Berkeley, CA…

Listening Notes: GASB, Thursday, June 13, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley (Castelli MAC)
Having just posted on the sbd recording from this show, I’ll post my notes from the newly circulating audience recording by Robert Castelli (1644-shnid 110663, 2496-shnid 110798). I’ll start with a few analytical points, then produce my listening notes based on the 24/96 version. Not a ton to say about this, except that this is…

Listening Notes: GASB, Thursday, June 13, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley (sbd)
Low-gen soundboard tape of Thursday, 6/13/74, Keystone, Berkeley (shnid-13768). Note the listing as Great American String Band, though the naming issue is one I am avoiding for now. I’ll just go with GASB for this post. A few analytical points: The setlist issues have been clarified by the Castelli tape, notes on which I’ll post…
