JGB: June 23, 1977: Benefit Concert for the Survival of the Forest Community of Camp Meeker
On Thursday, June 23, 1977, Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) out-of-pattern early and late shows at Santa Rosa High School. High school gigs were pretty unusual for Garcia at any point (beyond early Grateful Dead), but by the late 1970s it almost always meant that there was some personal connection, somehow, to Garcia. For example, Garcia-Kahn…

The Merle [sic] Saunders Experience: Boarding House, January 25, 1973
LN jg1973-01-25.jgms.early-late.sbd.7670.shn2flac1644 Introduction Not long ago I posted a set of notes on JGMS 1/15/73 at the Inn of the Beginning, the second known date (and the earliest circulating tape) of the Garcia-Saunders-Kahn-Vitt group to include singer Sarah Fulcher.

Summertime in January: The Merle [sic] Saunders Experience, January 15, 1973 at the Inn of the Beginning
Rex Jackson wrote the band name as ” Merle [sic] Saunders Experience” on his tape boxes for this night, FWIW. LN jg1973-01-15.jgms.early-late.sbd-jgmf.5428+9573.shn2flac Among the Inn of the Beginning materials [JGMF | COAU] I unearthed last summer were ledgers indicating shows by Garcia-Saunders on January 14-15, 1973, only the latter of which had previously been known…

Where Was the Grateful Dead on Sunday, August 24, 1969?
Here are the listings from the great San Francisco Express Times, vol. 2 no. 32 (August 21, 1969), p. unk. There’s lots of interest here, of course. But I have circled the item that interests me most greatly. It’s under the listings for Sunday, August 24, 1969, and reads as follows: Hippy Hill: Trans-Cultural Rip-Offs,…
