  • Reasonably Good Voice and Superb Guitar: JGB on the Russian River, May 31, 1982

    jg1982-05-31.jgb.all.aud-GEMS.95427.flac1644 So, this show came up a few days ago as one at which Liz Stires and Julie Stafford were probably singing backing vocals. Part of an interesting occasional discussion on personnel issues in which the early 80s JGB backup singers and drummers have been the matter of some focus (see also here on the…

  • The River Theatre (Guerneville, CA) 1982 Liz and Julie Conundrum, Resolved

    In my previous post on the JGB’s early 1980s drummers and backup singers, I grappled with the puzzle of the backup singers on 10/24/82 at the River Theater, 16135 Main Street, Guerneville, CA, 95446-8301: an eyewitness to the 10/24/82 River Theater (Guerneville, CA) show, which we know featured the return of female vocalists after the…

    Part of a series of back-of-the-napkin thoughts about the Golden State Country Bluegrass Festival (GSCBF), held in San Rafael, CA from Friday, April 26th through Sunday, April 28, 1974. Previous installments: GSCBF1: just a mention GSCBF2: a plea for a release of the film and tapes! GSCBF3: Sunday 4/28/74 afternoon schedule GSCBF4: Greenbriar Boys (a.k.a.…

  • LN19760119 JG interview by Father Miles Riley, KPIX-TV Studios, San Francisco, CA

    Update: looks like a 26 minute recording is available through the GDAO: http://www.gdao.org/items/show/379043 Update2: GD Archive material gives taping date as 1/19/76 Update3: see also “Jerry’s January 1976”. Update4: 26 minute video has finally come into the light! I have now put some slightly more verbatim “viewing notes” below the fold. Not a full transcription,…

  • JG: December 21, 1970 (Monday), Pepperland, San Rafael, CA

    At some point I need to figure out Pepperland. I see from a Rock Prosopography post on Sons of Champlin setlists that the venue was the Bermuda Palms ca. 1967, then became Euphoria Ballroom, then became Pepperland. Nothing turns up on Rock Archaeology. COAU has a little bit. With an address of 737 Francisco Blvd.…

  • LN19690219 High Country “2/19/69” Matrix, San Francisco, CA

    LIA’s argument that the GD set circulating under the date of 6/19/68 is actually the 2/19/69 GD show is totally persuasive to me. Of course that probably implies that the 2/19/69 dating of the High Country set from the Matrix, with Garcia and Nelson joining Butch Waller and Rich Wilbur, is probably mis-dated. (A Wednesday…

  • Reconstruction: June 8, 1979, venue question

    Still can’t believe how little I’ve had to say about Reconstruction. All in due time, I guess. Anyway, a quickie: I think the correct venue for the June 8, 1979 Reconstruction show is probably the Rio Theater (140 Parker Avenue, Rodeo, CA, 94572). Here’s how it looks today: View Larger Map This is based on…
