  • About Last Night

    Hell may freeze over, but here I am. A new man. (Call it my epitaph for JGMF.) But I am going to post about the Post-Jerry-Garcia-Grateful-Dead-Cinematic-Universe (PJGGDCU). Just read Selvin 2018 for a sense of things. I think Thoughts On The Dead coined an acronym for this which is of course canon. I am just…

  • Unidentified Nicky Hopkins Instrumentals

    update: Mark Mattson has identified the number as “Lucky Old Sun” – wow! There may be others, but I am right now pondering two distinct instrumentals that Nicky does out of “Lady Sleeps” with the JGB in the last month or so of his run with the band. 11/23/75: about 1:38:30ff here –> https://ia600902.us.archive.org/9/items/jgb1975-11-23MackeyAuditoriumBoulderCO/jgb1975-11-23MackeyAuditoriumBoulderCO.mp3 He announces…

  • Farewell to Ronnie at the Rainbow: JGB in Denver, November 19, 1981

    LN jg1981-11-19.jgb.all.aud-unk-vamarty.25792.shn2flac If Garcia’s local gigs paid for his smokes and such, his east coast jaunts paid the big bills. In the book I will try to narrate coherently (ha!) that late 1981 through 1982 showed Garcia trying to straighten out his financial and business affairs (including a relatively local early 1982 “tax tour” that never…

  • Acoustic at the Denver Rainbow – JGJK, May 23, 1985 (late show)

    LN jg1985-05-23.jgjk.late.aud.137966.flac1644 These shows have been very elusive, and the early show still has not made a digital appearance. Standard “Rock Bottom Era” take: croaking vocals and very good (acoustic) guitar picking. The one plus of the acoustic setting is that he can sing quietly, which works well on a relative rarity like “She Belongs…

  • Red Rocks

    Saw something in some ca. ’84 GD band meeting minutes where Weir says they should move heaven and earth to play Red Rocks. Spent some time with one of the ’83 gigs, and now running 9/7/85, and boy oh boy are they good. I hadn’t recalled 9/7/85 being this good. Jerry sounds very together, his…

  • more Garcia summer 1991 cancellations

    Jerry Garcia Band (electric) was scheduled to play Frost Amphitheatre at Stanford University on July 14, 1991, but July 11th announced that Citing “mounting health problems,” Jerry Garcia has postponed his upcoming tour dates, including his show scheduled for Sunday at Frost Amphitheater. This ended up being canceled. I had earlier noted that that summer’s…

  • So He Goes Nowhere

    https://archive.org/details/gd1980-06-08.SonyECM250.walker-scotton.miller.88452.sbeok.flac16 This fileset is great – awesome tape by Joani Walker. It also includes a few great tracks from the Warren Zevon set and a post-show interview with Bob Weir. Here’s an interesting little exchange, 24 minutes into the interview, or thereabouts. Bob: “Garcia, who’s really visible for miles … he can’t go anywhere. He…
