  • JGMS March 22, 1974 – Chateau Liberté

    The McNally-Arnold JG List included Garcia-Saunders on March 22, 1974 at the Chateau Liberté. I presently list the address as 22700 Old Santa Cruz Highway, Los Gatos, CA 95033 [map | JGBP | JGC | Cryptical Developments | see also LLD]. I know of no documentation of this in the public realm, just the listing,…

  • Carousel, May 22, 1968 – Jerry Garcia and others

    Garcia and others are listed for the Carousel on May 22, 1968. According to a report in Billboard (Lehman 1968), this was a benefit concert to promote bringing jazz into schools, with an organization called the Jazz Action Movement (JAM). San Francisco Express Times, May 22, 1968, p. 14. The night before circulates from Bear’s…

  • JGMS: January 6-7-8, 1972, Keystone Korner

    I had a Friday, January 7, 1972 Garcia-Saunders gig at Keystone Korner based on an ex post discussion by Ken Hunt in the San Francisco Chronicle (1). But a bit of sniffing reveals a Thursday-Saturday run, January 6-8. No TJS, so update your own spreadsheets. (1) Hunt, Dennis. 1972a. Guitarist Jerry Garcia Never Stops. San…

  • Sebastopol Benefit: March 22, 1978

    LN jg1978-03-22.jgb.all.sbd-ladner.19832.shn2flac As a prelude to a review of the off-to-a-great-start GarciaLive 4 release of the Sebastopol 3/22/78 benefit show, here are some fragmentary listening notes from a year ago on the rough circulating sbd copy. It appears that I engaged the question of the pianist on that very date over at Corry’s post (probably…

  • Garcia Talks Locally, Fall 1972

    Staska, Kathie, and George Mangrum. 1972. Rock Talk by KG: Jerry Garcia discusses Grateful Dead, albums. Hayward Daily Review, October 12, 1972, p. 42. It’s a marvel to study Garcia interviews over the years in all kinds of ways. The man could talk as knowledgeably, engagingly, expansively, and articulately as he played the guitar, which…

  • Accounting the JGB: October 8, 1975

    Since we are having fun with a few provisions around how the JGB was billed and advertised for the October 8, 1975 (Wednesday!) shows at the Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz [JB 7:30 PM | JB 10:30 PM | map | JGBP venue, but ‘Theatre’ is correct], why don’t we look at this in…

  • We’re Having a Reasonably Good Time Here

    LN jg1989-01-28.jgb.all.sbd-goetz-retracked.28352.shn2flac Love this show. Two snaps up. A few bullets. First, I had a cryptic note-to-self in the 1/27/89 listening notes to elaborate on the “a year too late” thesis. In a nutshell, it’s my argument that when JGB recorded itself in 1990 at the Warfield for what would become the eponymous 1991 double-live…
