  • Color: January 12-25, 1972 Night Times listings

    Here are some listings from the Night Times, with a few scattershot thoughts. 1) The Berkeley Night Times is a gem. 2) It’s especially good re: race. The range of clubs it covers exceeds most other sources – you’ve got the country clubs, the rock clubs, the black soul/R&B/gospel clubs, the Latin clubs, a little…

  • The Mission

    “No matter what comes down, the Mission always looks the same”

  • Jerry Garcia Sometime Before Christmas

    Night Times, published out of Berkeley for about a year (as far as I know) in 1971-1972, is a treasure. I found a review of Chez Panisse just shortly after it opened, but it’s loaded with great music, art, etc. content. Anyway, I liked this one, from the December 23, 1971 – January 3, 1972…

  • The Fat Man Is Back – LN jg1987-02-24.jgb.all.aud-pinney-gems.82610.flac1644

    Poster for JGB 2/24/87 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on Tuesday, February 24, 1987, image courtesy of Wolfgang’s Vault. Since I gathered an ad and a few listings in Santa Cruz, I gave the 2/24/87 JGB show at the Civic Aud a spin and discovered a great tape (a single one in circulation, thanks…

  • More Carousel

  • GD at Carousel, May-June 1968

    Since I am on the subject, the ad below (published 5/30/68) lists the GD at Carousel on Friday May 31, Saturday June 1, and Sunday June 2, 1968. The Chicken lists Thursday (5/30) through Saturday (6/1). Sorry if this has all been gone over, but I don’t see any notes in my own files on…

  • GD April 5, 1968 (Friday), Carousel – never happened

    Updated: the SFC Datebook of April 5, 1968 (p. 47) shows John Lee Hooker, Loading Zone, Mother Earth. Given the two conflicting pieces of print, I’ll prefer the later-published one (SFC) to the earlier-published one (Express Times issue of ca. 4/3/68) (lex posterior derogat priori). Corry’s tour itinerary shows an open Friday night for GD/Garcia…

  • Documenting the JGB – February 26, 1976 – Del Mar Theatre, Santa Cruz, CA

    Continuing this little Santa Cruz series, I thought I’d use the next gig to lay out some nomenclature. A little taxonomy to tempt your tastebuds. Institutionalized Practices The current title only came to me after I had just posted this more generically. It currently reads “Documenting the JGB” to complement the Billing and Accounting posts…

  • JGMS: October 11, 1974 – Chateau Liberté, Los Gatos, CA

    Unlike 3/22/74, a date for which I found no trace of a Garcia-Saunders gig at the Chateau Liberté, the Friday, October 11, 1974 gig there, for which we have some wonderful recollections from Michael Parrish, yielded a few paper remnants. Ironically, I believe that tapes circulating with this date are mislabeled hodgepodges of 1974 soundboard…

  • OAITW – October 5, 1973, Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA

    Ahhh, beautiful, beautiful libraries. Below is the stuff I found around the Old And In The Way gig played Friday, October 5, 1973 at the Civic Auditorium, 307 Church Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 [map | Jerrybase | JGC | JGBP]. cryptdev was in attendance! Let me first note, because I can’t resist the pretty colors,…
