GD September 3, 1972, Folsom Field, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO
I have posted on this show once, but only to link these breathtaking photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34917706@N07/sets/72157622061027813 Photos, I gather, by Joe Calvin. I have always thought there’s a dissertation or book to do about music at colleges and universities. Corry has hipped me to their importance in economy, among other things. The Dead in Boulder is…

Harpur College NRPS set
“Enough about the Dead, how was the New Riders’ set?” – one guy, once Any Deadhead worth her salt knows the Harpur College gig from May 2, 1970. It’s a monster, one of the Dead’s best, and long-circulating from FM tapes; it has blown a lot of minds. I don’t remember hearing much about the…

Ticket stub for JGB 8/11/84 show at Caldwell College, contributed by Ed. Photo of JGB 8/11/84 at Caldwell College, courtesy of Jck007. What a weird show. Reviewer Bill Breen (1984) sets the stage.

GD at University of Utah, April 12, 1969
The University of Utah’s daily campus paper, the Chronicle, had very few little fragments on the GD show held in the Union Ballroom on campus on Saturday, April 12, 1969. Taboot, I couldn’t get access to a decent scanning arrangement, as you’ll see. So, no page details, etc. Scans below, here’s what I find. SDS…

His voice is fading fast: JGB at SUNY New Paltz, 11/29/77
LN jg1977-11-29.jgb.all.aud-cooper.berger.124217.flac2496 I have already posted about the fascinating setlist rarity, “Here Comes The Sun” popping up in the middle of “Stir It Up”. Neat. Beyond that, I note that this is a pivotal moment in Garcia’s singing. Everything’s still arranged around the highs he could hit early in 1976 and 1977. But in the…

“Bloody Hell”
A while back I posted some listening notes from the Jim Cooper audience tape of the Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) show at Colden Auditorium, Queens College, Queens, NY on Thursday, October 30, 1975. When called to summarize the show in a headline for my etree list, which is a date index for the site, I…

new snow on top of freezing rain and fog and really poor visibility, just a disaster of a night for travelin’, but we didn’t wanna miss the show
This ticket stub is an awesome piece of memorabilia – attendee wrote the names of all of his show-going companions. Here are his recollections, posted from Lossless Legs (12/16/2013): I vaguely recall the weather bein’ a combination of new snow on top of freezing rain and fog and really poor visibility, just a disaster of…

So much to say, so little time. Eventually the February 1980 tour will have to be written up. Here are some raw materials. Really nice tape, an excellent version of “When I Paint My Masterpiece” , two negative show reviews and one a participant observation study of Deadheaddom, Long Island style, February 1980.
