Mickey and the Hartbeats, October 28, 1968, Matrix, San Francisco, CA
Deadlists no longer lists (if it ever did) a Hartbeats show at the Matrix on Monday, 10/28/68. It doesn’t appear on the Chicken on a Unicycle Matrix list, either. But what are we to make of this tidbit, from Deadlist’s 10/29/68 Hartbeats entry? On page 26 of issue #34 (Summer 1996) of Dupree’s Diamond News,…

Jerry Garcia and Howard Wales: June 7, 1970, Matrix, San Francisco, CA (PHANTOM)
The Jerry Site still doesn’t have any way to keep a list of deleted shows. If one is deleted or its date is changed, the old entry evaporates. So I am trying to keep track of what disappears under this “TJS-deletion” tag. Anyway, TJS has listed a Garcia/Wales show for Sunday, June 7, 1970, probably…

NRPS: Bear’s Lair, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, August 1, 1969
update: LIA has posted text from the various goings-on at the Family Dog On The Great Highway this night. Corry at Lost Live Dead has just posted a GD/JG performance list from July-August 1969. I don’t have much to add, but since he mentions the New Riders of the Purple Sage gig(s) from August 1,…

Reconstruction: August 10, 1979, Temple Beautiful, San Francisco, CA
I don’t think I have blogged much about Reconstruction, the jazz-R&B-soul-funk-rock-disco outfit formed by John Kahn that performed in 1979 and that regularly “featured” Jerry Garcia on guitar. This is one of Garcia’s most unusual side trips. It features lots of tunes that he had never done before and would never do again, with my…

GD/NRPS: May 28, 1971, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA (CANCELED)
In an earlier post I discussed the infamous May 29, 1971 Grateful Dead show at Winterland at which a large number of people reacted adversely to being dosed. As Corry noted in comments, the Grateful Dead and New Riders of the Purple Sage show scheduled for the night before (May 28, 1971) was canceled due…

The New Peanut Butter Sandwich: October 16, 1966, Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA
Having just posted about Garcia’s October 1966 sit-in with Big Brother and the Holding Company, I’ll follow on with what is even more interesting-sounding (though it apparently didn’t come off that well). Mojo Navigator R&R News no. 9 (October 17, 1966) gives a brief account of the evening, which apparently included a configuration (“One Night…

Jerry sitting in with Big Brother, October 1966: which date?
Lost Live Dead posted about a Garcia sit-in with Big Brother and the Holding Company on October 15, 1966. Based on the context of an account in Mojo Navigator no. 9 (October 17, 1966), I am going to argue that this is incorrect. According to MN, this all happened on a Sunday, while 10/15 was…

JGMS: July 11, 1973, Keystone, Berkeley, CA
A while back I did a little miniseries linking the July 1973 Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders shows at Keystone Berkeley to the official releases. I did it from the show perspective and from the album perspective. I.e., July 10, 1973: what goes on which albums; Live at Keystone, vol. 1 (CD): which songs come from which…

JGMS: January 15, 1972, Keystone Korner, San Francisco, CA
I have been needing to revisit recordings of the very early Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders stuff, and with a bit of time I thought I’d give this show, from a Saturday in mid-January 1972 at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco, some attention on its birthday. I am not sure who’s drumming … could have been…

Mid-1975 album mixing at Heider’s
Can you tell I am going through some fragments? Anyway, this little tidbit, from August 1975, has me a bit puzzled. Which album is this? I just don’t recall any Jerry-related work at Heider’s at this time. The Grateful Dead might have been referred to in this way at this time (they had played the…
