  • Peppy: JGB at the Stone, May 31, 1981 (and contemporary data missingess)

    LN jg1981-05-31.jgb.s1s2p.aud.137952.flac1644 More spare listening notes, more JGB #12b. I actually like TLEO here (rare), find characteristically strong-for-the-period versions of Sugaree and Tangled Up, enjoy a melodious Simple Twist, pick up some rock-n-roll goodness in Let It Rock, and totally dig the litling beauty of an early Melvin-era Knockin’. Early 80s Knockin’s are the best, IMO.…

  • “Remember that time you pre-gamed it too hard before the show?”

    “Remember that time you pre-gamed it too hard before the show? Then you spent the whole concert with your head down in the stall? If yes, then this tape will be a trip down memory lane ..” So says the great AF in seeding a “For Completists Only” copy of 4/15/90 (heretofore never circulated digital…

  • Kicking off the January ’86 Garcia/Kahn acoustic tour

    LN jg1986-01-24.jgjk.all.aud-CC.138168.flac1644 A huge bulge of heretofore elusive Garcia tape from the late 70s and especially the 80s has been hitting cyberspace. I don’t have much time for this, just a few scattered notes laying down some markers for eventual discussion of the tour. First, a tour snapshot. Snapshot of the January ’86 Garcia/Kahn acoustic…

  • The Twin Keys Quintet: JGB, The Stone, February 23, 1981 (Monday)

    LN  jg1981-02-23.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 which became  jg1981-02-23.jgb.s1s2p.aud-CC.138135.flac1644 Andrew F. is transcribing the Closet Call tapes. What follows is from my deprecated transfer, with some updated details about Andrew’s shnid’d version mixed-in. Funny that I found this show so bland, because I loved 2/22/81 when it first hit the streets. “I have absolutely nothing of note to say.…

  • During Gaylord’s Second Stint: JGB at the Stone, October 14, 1985 (Monday)

    These may be the shortest two JGB sets ever played. Gaylord Birch drumming.

  • Recent Closet Call Results

    http://db.etree.org/shnlist.php?year=Recent&artist=&artist_group_key=4 That link displays recent lossless filesets (shnids) entered at the etree database. The discerning Garcia fan will recognize that Andrew F. is working on two distinct cassette collections which contain some number of previously uncirculated pieces, especially from the 1980s, not already losslessly circulating. This includes the Closet Call tapes that wk has made…

  • Gloria’s First Night Out? Update: NO

    LN jg1984-01-08.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 update: I now believe this is the first night out for Gloria Jones. update2 (4/16/2020): I no longer believe this is the first night out for Gloria Jones. I now believe that 7/10?/84 enjoys that distinction. First show of 1984, Sunday night at 492 Broadway. This setlist differs from what was traditionally listed,…

  • That warmish-dampish-Motel-6-towel feeling, without the hygiene – JGB at Keystone Palo Alto, February 4, 1982

    LN jg1982-02-04.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 I have always found early 1982 to be an exceptionally weak period for the Jerry Garcia Band. Jerry’s opiate use has really picked up, but in his side band he didn’t seem able to get back up with blow or whatever. Indeed, to tell the truth I think January, February and March JGB…

  • LN jg1983-01-13.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448

    Pretty perfunctory, on my part as a note-taker, as well as on the part of the band. First show of 1983. DeeDee and Jackie’s public debut.
