Blissfully Clarenceless on Market Street: JGB at the Warfield, December 1, 1989
LN jg1989-12-01.jgb.all.aud-bk4011.141459.flac1648 God, ’89 was such a great year for the Jerry Band. I really need to find some more of the out-of-town shows to spin, though everytime I do I tend not to note much, because it’s all just really consistently good. This show, 12/1/89, is absolutely outstanding. I am glad that, contrary to what…

At Wolfgang’s Orpheum: JGB with Clarence Clemons, March 3, 1989
The success of the Dead’s Touch of Grey didn’t only limit that band’s venue (and even city) options. It also impacted ol’ Midas’s bar band. Freddie Herrera’s last remaining club, the 700-seat Stone on Broadway, didn’t stand a chance, and a four-night Garcia Band run on May 27-28 and 30-31, 1987 brought the curtain down on Jerry and…

Reaching for the Gold Ring
Uncle Bobo comes on about three minutes in, introduces the band, and they drop into a sublime “Crazy Fingers”, one of my favorite songs.

Ron Polte on the Demise of the Carousel
Bottom line: A bunch of hippies, a bunch of good people, got together and refused to run a business. And, I’m sorry, you’ve got to live in that world if you’re gonna run a business. On Rakow, in particular: What Ron Rakow did to those people, he chained them to a machine that couldn’t make…

Clio’s Garcia
“More and different” pithily summarizes what Garcia was pursuing in his Side Trips relative to what he got out of the Grateful Dead. Here are a few snapshots of some over-time trends I find illuminating. “More”: this is a calendar view of Garcia’s out of state tours with the Dead (pink) and his side bands…
