James and the Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)
Found this interesting. The New Orleans House ad from the Berkeley Tribe v.3 n.15 (issue 67) (October 16-23, 1970), p. 21 lists “James & The Good Brothers (Courtesy of the Grateful Dead)” for Friday-Saturday, October 13-14, 1970.

Anyone know anything more about this publication, Hard Road? This is volume 1, no. 1 (July 20, 1970), and it seems to have been planned as a weekly. Not sure there was ever a no. 2 … anyone know? Seemed to be out of Mill Valley. Anyway, just because. The interview contained in the mag…

LN jg1981-08-07.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 JGB’s “First Northern California Tour“, heh heh. Having just posted about the JGB Salinas show on August 6, 1981, here I just drop the raw data on a pretty grungy old tape of what purports to be the next night, Friday, August 7, 1981 at Freeborn Hall, UC Davis, Davis, CA.

“We Hardly Know Each Other”: JGB at Sherwood Hall, Salinas, CA, August 6, 1981
LN jg1981-08-06.jgb.all.aud-unk-russjcan.110492.flac1644 JGB’s “1st Northern California Tour“, as the Keystoners had it.

LN19810129 JGB Catalyst Santa Cruz
Jerry Garcia Band, Sunday, January 29, 1981, The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, CA. shnid 111412. So I thought I’d check out an early Melvin Seals JGB show as a reward for having concluded that his public debut with JGB was 1/22/81. Randomly picked this one. Pretty nice tape that puts you FOB, but the show is…
