Legion of Mary at the Arie Crown Theatre, Chicago, April 18, 1975
LN jg1975-04-18.lom.all.composite-proctor-droncit.124466.flac1644 Thought I’d spin this one on its 45 anniversary yesterday. The only moment of the show that made me sit up some was the meltiness at the end of La-La, which could have gone anywhere and ended up going nowhere. After mostly getting through the show yesterday, I thought to myself “It’s no wonder…

Old Folks at Home for a Very Long Show: JGB at the Uptown, November 17, 1981
LN jg1981-11-17.jgb.all.aud-mason.131710.flac1644 Not much to report. Note that I have just been doing a bunch of listening and most of my reports are lukewarm – what are the odds that it’s as much to do with me-in-these-moments as what’s actually on the tapes? Anyway, there were no early and late shows on the Chicago stop…

In connection with another post that is taking me a long time to finalize, I have been looking at the various crossings of Garcia and the Jefferson Airplane. Among the many sources I have been using is Scott Abbot’s JABase volume 3, available online at http://home.myfairpoint.net/srabbot/airplane/jabase.htm. There, I find a listing for the Airplane doing…

JGB: November 17, 1981, Uptown Theatre, Chicago, IL
A couple of quick notes about the Jerry Garcia Band @ Uptown Theatre in Chicago, IL, in late 1981. [note that the Trib appeared to be misspelling it as “Theater” in this timeframe.] First, it appears the show might have originally been scheduled for 10/29/81. That would have made it the first show of the…

GD: July 3-4, 1970, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago (CANCELED)
Grateful Dead Aragon Ballroom Chicago, IL July 3-4, 1970 CANCELED The Aragon Ballroom, at 1106 Lawrence Avenue, Chicago, was reportedly leased by American Tribal Productions in spring 1970 in order to put on “monster rock shows” (1). A mention is made of restoring the venue to its “pre-Cheetah” condition, leading me to wonder if this…
