  • Never Get Yo Cornbread Made

    LN jg1995-01-13.jgb.all.aud-vasseur-ladner.21484.shn2flac I almost never listen to 1995. I mean to. And then I did. But then, it turns out that I had already listened to the second set of this show, so the novelty factor was reduced by half. On the flip side, the “study in contrasts” possibilities are wide; in this case, it…

  • Catholics listing the Legion

    The very Catholic USF Foghorn mentioning the LOM gig 3/14/75: “yes, that’s the Legion of Mary“. http://digitalcollections.usfca.edu/cdm/ref/collection/p15129coll8/id/7748 ! mention: San Francisco Foghorn (University of San Francisco), March 14, 1975, p. 8. ! seealso: “By the Grace of the Lord: Legion of Mary at the Masonic Temple, Scranton, April 12, 1975” h/t Yellow Shark

  • I stand corrected: it is that bad

    The pithy title I gave to a set of 8/24/84 listening notes (s1 only) was “It’s not that bad, given how much Persian he was doing.” I stand corrected. Yes, yes it is. It is *that bad*. Here are notes on the three consecutive tracks of s2: ! P: s2t01 HTC … these vocals are…

  • Jerry Garcia and John Lennon, summarized by Dennis McNally

    On December 8, Garcia was at Front Street working on Dead Set when get got a call that told him of the assassination of John Lennon. Work was impossible. He sat down at Keith Godchaux‘s old Steinway (more pain: Keith had died in a car accident that summer) and noodled for many hours, lost in…

  • The Twin Keys Quintet: JGB, The Stone, February 23, 1981 (Monday)

    LN  jg1981-02-23.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 which became  jg1981-02-23.jgb.s1s2p.aud-CC.138135.flac1644 Andrew F. is transcribing the Closet Call tapes. What follows is from my deprecated transfer, with some updated details about Andrew’s shnid’d version mixed-in. Funny that I found this show so bland, because I loved 2/22/81 when it first hit the streets. “I have absolutely nothing of note to say.…

  • During Gaylord’s Second Stint: JGB at the Stone, October 14, 1985 (Monday)

    These may be the shortest two JGB sets ever played. Gaylord Birch drumming.

  • Gee Baby, Ain’t I Good To You?

    A little over a year ago, I found a review of a unique-sounding Garcia-Saunders gig, backing Maria Muldaur at the Berkeley Community Theatre on October 12, 1974. While unique at the gig level, it turns out that JGMS backing John Kahn’s then-“old lady” Maria Muldaur, still flying high from a hit record or two, was…

  • GD Fillmore West April 9, 1970

    https://archive.org/details/gd1970-04-09.137104.aud.cousinit.flac16/gd1970-04-09-d2t03.flac What a hottie this Good Lovin’ jam is! These shows are only represented in imperfect audience tapes, but they are crucial documents from a period relatively underrepresented on soundboard tape. 7/12/70 at the Fillmore East is another one of these shows that has gotten too little attention because of soundboard snobbery. For this period,…

  • If These Halls Could Talk

    If These Halls Could Talk: A Historical Tour through San Francisco Recording Studios – by Heather Johnson (2006). Has anyone ever seen a copy of this? I would like one, but it’s $170+ at Amazon and not really available at my usual on-line used book haunts.
