  • Righteousness, and Two Guests: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, February 16, 1974

    LN jg1974-02-16.jgms.all.sbd-alligator.91471.flac1644 A few days ago I posted about an advertised but canceled Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders band gig (Kahn and Kreutzmann rounding things out) scheduled for 2/16/74 at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. I irresponsibly dropped a few notes about the replacement show for the night, and here I follow up on…

  • LOM 19750522 note

    Thank you, Bob Menke and Louis Falanga. That’s all.

  • LN jg1973-xx-xx.oaitw.88mins.sbd-PNW.99222.flac1644

    This is shnid-99222, a somewhat degraded soundboard tape of Old And In The Way (OAITW) with Richard Greene on fiddle. I had mentioned it when it first came out. update: I surmise that this is Thursday, April 12, 1973, Granada Theatre, 1216 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA. It’s not certain by any stretch, but that’s what…

  • JGMS: February 16, 1974, Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ (CANCELED)

    Village Voice, January 10, 1974, p. 40 An ad for a show by Jerry Garcia, Merle [sic] Saunders, John Kahn and Bill Kreutzmann (call ’em Garcia/Saunders, or JGMS), with Sons of Champlin opening, Saturday, February 16, 1974 at the Capitol Theatre, 326 Monroe Street, Passaic, NJ, 07055. This is positively stunning, I have to say.…

  • GD in Walnut Creek; East Bay Psychedelic Scene?

    Can anyone anywhere add anything about these three Grateful Dead shows in Walnut Creek, CA? Little is known about the first, and next-to-nothing about the second two. **update 20150905: the 1968 shows have been demystified** 1. Grateful Dead, Sunday, October 23, 1966: Gymnasium, Las Lomas High School, 1460 South Main Street,Walnut Creek, CA 94596-5383. Deadlists:…

  • The Last Quartet Show

    LN jg1982-10-23.jgb.all.aud-knudsen-GEMS.112275.flac1644 This show is the last for the short-lived October ’82 quartet configuration, which did a quartet of shows on 10/13/82, 10/21-22/82, and this night. In Guerneville on the 24th, backing vocalists would augment the ranks. If I am not mistaken, this could be the last show the JGB ever played as a quartet…

    Vegas is skeptical that I can do the NRPS-Matrix-1970 thing in seven posts, but I never claimed I’d do them consecutively. And, well, if I happen to cover related terrain, well, that’s just how it goes. And it just so happens that LIA’s post “The Hartbeats – July 1970” mentions some GD material that I’d…

  • ‘Yayyyyy, Jerry!’

    LN jg1981-04-18.jgb.all-1.aud-jaret.107843.flac1644 Looks like I hear a mixed bag – HSII and CJ strong to start, but on STOF I call him zonked – “Sounds like he’s learning how to sing on smack”, and there are various clusterfucks. Little kid in the crowd gives a “Yayyyyy, Jerry!” as Our Hero steps up for “Let It…
