Righteousness, and Two Guests: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, February 16, 1974
LN jg1974-02-16.jgms.all.sbd-alligator.91471.flac1644 A few days ago I posted about an advertised but canceled Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders band gig (Kahn and Kreutzmann rounding things out) scheduled for 2/16/74 at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. I irresponsibly dropped a few notes about the replacement show for the night, and here I follow up on…

An Evening With the Gratetul Dead
edited 20110502 am LN jg1970-05-01.gd.all-126mins.sbd-miller.95683.flac1644 It is presently “commonly known” that the “An Evening With The Grateful Dead” show concept / set format debuted in Alfred, NY on Friday, May 1, 1970 [Jerrybase | shnid-95683 | archive.org]. McNally (2002, 366) narrates things this way, Deadlists’ entry presents the show in conventional AEWTGD form, and so…

‘Nice Hat, John’: JGB at Freeborn Hall, UC Davis, August 7, 1981
LN jg1981-08-07.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 JGB’s “First Northern California Tour“, heh heh. Having just posted about the JGB Salinas show on August 6, 1981, here I just drop the raw data on a pretty grungy old tape of what purports to be the next night, Friday, August 7, 1981 at Freeborn Hall, UC Davis, Davis, CA. One of…

GD19671201-02: December 1-2, 1967, Psychedelic Supermarket, Boston, MA – CXL
update note 20150517: I find it hard to update posts once I make them, too little time and all that. In any case, I think I have learned the following things. First, the Dead shows advertised for the Psychedelic Supermarket in Boston on December 1-2, 1967 ended up canceled. Is that right? Second, per commenter Bob…

A Monster Don’t Let Go at Hartwick College, December 3, 1977
LN jg1977-12-03.jgb.90mins.aud-unk-russell.LOSSY.flac1644 update whenever: seems like this material is lossy. One hopes the source tapes can be located and archived at higher resolution (on the sonic plane for sure, but also informationally!). Not a huge amount to say. A show that has been MiA, around which some setlist uncertainty remains. See my overly baroque notes below.…

HWJG: Quick Questions on the January ’72 East Coast Tour
Howard Wales and Jerry Garcia (HWJG) is another one of these things about which I have a great deal to say, but no time to get it down except in dribs and drabs. So be it. Quick question or two on the January 1972 east coast tour they did, Jerry’s first non-GD-related paying gigs in…

JGMS: October 3, 1971, Frost Ampitheater, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
Garcia and Saunders played the Pamoja Jazz Concert on October 3, 1971 at Frost Ampitheater, sharing a bill with Big Black and the Bobby Hutcherson – Harold Land Quintet. Love that jazz billing. Anyway, for a long time I have been aware of a show review by Paul Grushkin from the Stanford Daily a few…

NRPS: January 19, 1970, Pauley Ballroom, UC Berkeley
My Blackberry takes the world’s worst pictures (see below), and there was neither scanner nor photocopier handy as I was going through a handful of Berkeley Tribes from late 1969-early 1970 today. But I found a reference to a NRPS gig on January 19, 1970 at Pauley Ballroom, UC Berkeley. Scan from Berkeley Tribe, January…
