GASB/GAMB: mid-June 1974
update 20140907: June 12 was Lion’s Share, June 13-14 was Keystone Berkeley. This post mostly deals with stuff that has been clarified by Elwood (1974), but there’s still some good analysis of things other than date/venue in the old text /update The Great American String/Music Band is one of my favorite Garcia-involved aggregations. It was…

JGMS: October 3, 1971, Frost Ampitheater, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
Garcia and Saunders played the Pamoja Jazz Concert on October 3, 1971 at Frost Ampitheater, sharing a bill with Big Black and the Bobby Hutcherson – Harold Land Quintet. Love that jazz billing. Anyway, for a long time I have been aware of a show review by Paul Grushkin from the Stanford Daily a few…

NRPS: January 19, 1970, Pauley Ballroom, UC Berkeley
My Blackberry takes the world’s worst pictures (see below), and there was neither scanner nor photocopier handy as I was going through a handful of Berkeley Tribes from late 1969-early 1970 today. But I found a reference to a NRPS gig on January 19, 1970 at Pauley Ballroom, UC Berkeley. Scan from Berkeley Tribe, January…

GD: September 11-12, 1970: Pepperland, San Rafael (POSSIBLE) (NOW DISCONFIRMED)
**UPDATE: DISCONFIRMED. SEE COMMENTS** I don’t have tremendous confidence that this ever happened, but since Corry has educated me a little about booking practices and such, the fact that it’s a Friday-Saturday that is otherwise unfilled in GD/Garcia chronologies makes me more open to it. In a July 1970 Billboard article on Pepperland (“scheduled to…

JGB: December 31, 1975, Keystone, Berkeley: who was drumming?
update: we know now it was Greg Errico, with Hart sitting in in the third set, so enjoy this post as a waystation in the growth of knowledge. Jerrybase exists now! update: see also my “Jerry’s New Year’s Eve” post. I am not the big fan of the 12/31/75 JGB show that most people…

JGB: October 27, 1982, Rissmiller’s Club, Reseda, CA
Photo credit: Karen Verity Tapes have circulated dated October 27, 1982 from Rissmiller’s Club in Reseda, CA. I seem to recall that at ont point such a date was listed at the Jerry Site and that I myself got the idea that it was bogus and deleted it. I can’t remember why. Anyway, the image…

Jerry with Merl and/or Martin, ca. 1974, The Sand Dunes
We know that Jerry Garcia was playing around outside the GD to a varying, but always non-zero, extent throughout the career of his most famous band. We have a sense that this was happening more, and more loosely, in the early days (at least pre-1976) and less, and in a more routinized/institutionalized way after that.…

Garcia, Gravenites, Jules Broussard: ca. 1973, San Quentin Prison
**update: I have it in my mind that this never happened. I spoke with Nick the Greek once and seem to have come away with that idea** On 4/29/90, Garcia sat in with “Nick Gravenites and Animal Mind” for a Brian Wilson Defense Fund Benefit at the South of Market Cultural Center in San Francisco.…

Guitars Unlimited, Menlo Park
This is a bit beyond my ken, but since I have one Warlocks post, and an early Phil post, and since LLD has a Menlo Park angle, I thought I’d make a note of it. This may well be in the record, but I don’t recall it. This is from a ca. early 1991 interview…

Jerry Garcia at the Matrix, 1970-1971
As I noted a little bit ago, Ross Hannan sent some wonderful info on Matrix gigs. In this post I respond to some of his listings with questions, additional or different information, etc. I was just going to email this, but one never knows when someone else might see this and be able to weigh-in.…
