  • NRPS w/o Jerry, pre-Buddy?

    I had found some listings from June that had NRPS playing at a time when Garcia was known to be unavailable, June 21, 1971. I wondered what they did for pedal steel, but the question became moot when I scrolled ahead a day and found a cancellation notice. Questions, answers, questions: I have found another…

  • NRPS: July 24-25, 1971, New Monk – New to The List

    listing: “Rock, Jazz This Week in Bay Area,” SFC, July 23, 1971, p. 45. New Riders are scheduled to play Freddie Herrera’s New Monk Saturday-Sunday, July 24-25, 1971. Commander Cody slated to open. New to The List.

  • “Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders & Tom Fogerty Sat-Sun, New Monk”

    SFC 7/2/71 p. 52 Last year I spun some 1970 and early 1971 microfilm of the San Francisco Chronicle, and found seven new-to-The-List shows in a three-month span. If you follow the blog or scroll down a bit chronologically, you’ll see that I have continued to discover more in the 1971-1972 period, and even as…

  • Tom Fogerty, Merl Saunders and Friends – June 25, 1971 Keystone Korner

    The title gives a listing found in “The Music Scene–Complete Listings,” SFC, June 25, 1971, p. 43. Further down the same listing is Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders and Tom Fogerty at New Monk on Saturday-Sunday (June 26-27, 1971). I certainly do wonder if Jerry was a “Friend” at the Friday show in the City. Perhaps…

  • NRPS June 21-23, 1971 Boarding House – CANCELED

    San Francisco Chronicle, June 21, 1971, p. 47. Here’s an interesting one that I don’t quite know what to do with – NRPS and Rowan Bothers playing the Boarding House June 21-23, 1971. Of course, Garcia was in France on 6/21, and even gaining back 7 or 8 hours he probably couldn’t have been back…

  • JGMS: May 25, 1971 Keystone Korner: new to The List

    San Francisco Chronicle, May 24, 1971, p. 42. Garcia and Saunders listed for Tuesday, May 25, 1971 at Keystone Korner. New to The List. More color around Friends and Relations and the Tuesday Fillmore West auditions.

  • JGMS: Matrix, May 11-12, 1971

    There is a great half-hour tape labeled as Garcia-Saunders at the Matrix, May 11, 1971. I had always thought it was a little suspect, as I had never seen any other corroborating information, though it is listed at the Chicken’s Matrix List. This calendar listing from the San Francisco Chronicle (May 10, 1971, p. 45)…

  • JGMS: December 27-28, 1972 – Lion’s Share

    San Francisco Chronicle music listings, December 27, 1972, p. 44. Garcia-Saunders-Fogerty at the Lion’s Share in San Anselmo, December 27-28, 1972, as listed in San Francisco Chronicle, December 27, 1972, p. 44. Both the Hayward Daily Review and Berkeley Barb at various points listed Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, contrary to circulating Garcia-Saunders tape…

  • David Nichtern and the Nocturnes

    http://www.concertvault.com/david-nichtern/record-plant-november-09-1974.html What an interesting looking little fragment. I wish I could hear it. In All GSCBF All The Time news, I suspect that Nichtern hooked up with his band, including Hot Band pedal steel player Hank Devito, as well as Nicolette Larson, through the GSCBF. They were all there.

  • JGMS: June 11, 1974 Keystone Berkeley – new to The List

    So here’s a new one for The List: JGMS at Keystone on Tuesday, June 11, 1974. But note, too, that Merl is playing Sand Dunes on Monday the 10th – this could very easily be a Monday on which Garcia sat in. The fact that Tony Saunders played with Merl and Jerry the week prior…
