List of John Scher – promoted concerts
Does anyone know a list of John Scher-promoted concerts? I thought, one day, while I’m at it, why don’t I systematically start coding in PROMOTERs? Yeah, that won’t take long! So, having more or less finished coding Jefferson Airplane through 1969, I have taken to coding promoters for them and all of the Garcia stuff,…

Q: Where was Jerry on June 24, 1981? A: Breaking in new singers at the Keystone Palo Alto
update: I have found a listing for JGB playing Keystone Palo Alto this Wednesday night, 6/24/81. It makes sense – first night out for Liz Stires and Essra Mohawk, and they usually played gigs on off-nights and/or off-the-beaten path when breaking in new members. That seems especially pertinent when the first two gigs are going…

JGB: September 19, 1975, Crabshaw Corner, Sacramento, CA
Thanks to Corry for answering my query on January 26, 1976 which also included a question about 11/4/78. Before starting my post, I just want to take a second to recognize Corry’s role in Garcia historiography. He has been not only an essential bridge across different documents (Soto, McNally) and traditions (from handwritten lists to…

Corry has said this about the connection between the bands: James and The Good Brothers were a Canadian…
