Grateful Dead at Olompali, ca. June 1969
I was just sniffing around Olompali a little bit. It’s a powerful place. I need to write a lot about it. Anyway, sniffing around, as I say, and I come across this image: And it comes from this blog post: http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/so-who-needs-state-and-national-parks-anyway/ I only infer June 1969 because that’s how the picture is dated. The I…

Ozzie and Johnny D
LN jg1979-10-07.jgb.all-2.aud-angus-hart.106528.flac1644 First night out for Ozzie Ahlers and John d’Fonseca (and hence, of JGB #11a). Sunday night is consistent with pattern of breaking in new guys on off-nights, but the Garcia fans don’t worry about work on Monday morning. Probably not surprisingly, this performance is not a world-beater. They are feeling each other out.…

Nicky after JGB
Under the rock and jazz heading, you’ll see Terry and the Pirates, featuring John Cipollina and Nicky Hopkins playing the Longbranch Saloon in Berkeley on Friday January 2 and Saturday, January 3, 1976. I had never really picked this up before. After flaming out of JGB on New Year’s Eve 1975-1976, two days later Nicky…

Video from The Stone?
Anyone ever heard of any video circulating from Freddie Herrera and Bobby Corona’s The Stone (412 Broadway, San Francisco, CA, 94111)? Apparently video was shot there.

Alligator
I didn’t mean to publish this drafty fragment. It published itself. IIWII. anonymous comment: Russian River connection might have to do with them spending time at the Warnecke Ranch out on Chalk Hill Rd in Healdsburg. Alligator was supposed to be written there. 7/16/67 interview Garcia says they are looking to move to the Southwest,…

LN Reconstruction May 19, 1979 Old Waldorf, set II
Corry attended the Reconstruction show at the Old Waldorf on May 19, 1979, and has written it up very nicely from all of the angles that matter. He saw the 1st set. The second set, probably most of it, circulates from a very nice but unattributed audience recording. It’s not the best Reconstruction set around,…

It’s not that bad, given how much Persian he was doing
LN jg1984-08-24.jgb.s1.aud-GEMS.124940.flac1644 There are lots of ways to interpret this performance. One reasonable way would be to say that this is just about the nadir of Garcia’s performing career (perhaps 8/26/84), a professional embarrassment shocking only because playing at least competently for a paying audience formed perhaps the only real commitment in his life, a…

NRPS: November 26, 1969, Poppycock, Palo Alto
A few years ago Corry uncovered a whole trove of previously unknown NRPS shows in 1969. Among others, these included gigs in their old Palo Alto stomping grounds, playing the Poppycock (135 University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA, 94301) on consecutive Thursdays in November (November 13, 1969 and November 20, 1969). I am still hiatus, so…
