  • About Last Night

    Hell may freeze over, but here I am. A new man. (Call it my epitaph for JGMF.) But I am going to post about the Post-Jerry-Garcia-Grateful-Dead-Cinematic-Universe (PJGGDCU). Just read Selvin 2018 for a sense of things. I think Thoughts On The Dead coined an acronym for this which is of course canon. I am just…

    I have posted on this show once, but only to link these breathtaking photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34917706@N07/sets/72157622061027813 Photos, I gather, by Joe Calvin. I have always thought there’s a dissertation or book to do about music at colleges and universities. Corry has hipped me to their importance in economy, among other things. The Dead in Boulder is…

  • 8/28/77 update

Turns out it was for a festival known as “Sun Day” (this being Sun Day 3), with the following on the bill: Willie Nelson; Emmylou Harris; Dave Mason; Jerry Jeff Walker; Stillwater; Jerry…

  • 8/28/77?

    NB: question resolved, update in separate post.

I am going to check the Denver/Boulder papers for…
