Melvin in the House: JGB, Keystone Palo Alto, January 22, 1981
LN jg1981-01-22.jgb.partial.aud-latvala.97266.flac1644 Corry listened to this and said he didn’t hear two keyboards (in comments to his main post on Jimmy Warren). I don’t think I do, either, but I’d love for someone to check the 2-minute mark of I’ll Take a Melody and the 6-minute mark of Like a Road. I have a much…

Odes to Joy: Aunt Monk at the Generosity, May 9, 1975
LN jg1975-05-09.aunt-monk.84mins.aud-castelli-motb-0144.107829.flac1644 For a couple of years, the good people at Mouth of the Beast (MOTB) were dropping some ridiculously great and important listening material on the masses. Most important, from the perspective of Garcia on the Side (GOTS) were the Robert Castelli tapes, a handful of recordings made by the gentleman of that name…

Updated LN jg1973-04-16.oaitw.a.fm-nfagdtrfb.100404.flac1644
Man, I have been busy. Anyway, some time ago I did a half-assed “listening notes” on the circulating set (set I) of OAITW 4/16/73. This is one of the “Four Nights at the Boarding House” that seem so incredibly, richly evocative of what a relatively healthy, happy, loose and jamming Garcia wanted out of his…

August 9, 1974 is probably August 10, 1974: a fine show either way
LN jg1974-08-09.jgms.s1s2p.aud-falanga.8073.shnf More listening around August 1974, as with 8/11/74 and a mention of 8/15/74. I have some doubts about the date. The always-excellent “Rock Talk by KG” column (by Kathie Staska and George Mangrum) in the Hayward Daily Review (August 9, 1974, p. 40), says “Clifton Chenier does Keystone Berkeley tonight and Jerry Garcia…

Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I’ve Got)
LN jg1974-08-11.jgms.all.aud-falanga.6382.shnf I wanted to listen around August 1974 a bit more, to see if there was anything else like the mystery trumpet player on “8/15/74”. So I checked out 8/11. This strikes me as one of the weaker shows of this great month, though it’s been so long since I listened to most of…
