  • 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…

  • drive-by: GD 4/15/70 jam: hottest six minutes of the decade?

    I don’t have time to go full chapter-and-verse on this one: what I know is at Jerrybase. I give you what’s laconically labeled Grateful Dead’s “Jam (with Guests)” 4/15/70 at Winterland. https://archive.org/details/gd1970-04-15.132734.sbd.reel.latvala-eaton-wise.flac16/t10.flac or https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1970/04/15/jam-with-guests?source=88717

  • At Camp Loma Mar [At Camp Loma Mar] | kids can swim [kids can swim] | all the way to China [all the way to China] | Ha ha ha [ha ha ha] | Ho ho ho [ho ho ho]

    As a sixth grader at Burton Valley Elementary School in Lafayette California in the spring of 1982 I got to go to sixth grade camp. This seems like a thing that still happens for kids –at least certain kinds of kids from certain kinds of schools– in their terminal year of elementary school. Where I…

  • 9/9/72 Other One

    Holy guacamole, the 9/9/72 Other One is a MONSTER. https://archive.org/details/gd1972-09-09.sbd.miller.105458.flac16/gd72-09-09d3t01.flac Two flamboyant snaps up.

  • GD at Freeborn Hall: Friday, October 28, 1966

    This is out of my wheelhouse, but since it brings together two loose ends for me I thought I’d post it here. The Sacramento Bee of 10/23/66 p. W14 has a piece on upcoming homecoming events at Cal Aggie, i.e., UC Davis. The Grateful Dead are scheduled to play Freeborn Hall Friday 10/28/66, Yellow Brick…

  • Tighten Up

    The “Tighten Up” jam has always been a favorite. I am partial to the 1/2/70 and 10/31/71 versions, always wondered where the heck that last one came from since it’s so well-developed while not having been played in well over a year (and never before with Keith, AFAIK). Just here to note that the wonderful…

  • Taper Extraordinaire Sean Webber-Small

    Spinning Sean Webber-Small’s spaced omni recordings of the GD at Cal Expo on this date in 1990. I am not sure if I was there – I don’t think so, but I can’t really remember and I can’t find my stubs to verify one way or the other. But SWS generously shares some insights into…

  • Linear Dead Listening

    I am a bicycle commuter (19 miles a day), and I generally listen to Dead shows while pedaling. Awhile back, I did the whole E72 tour consecutively. Earlier this year, I ran sequentially through 1974. So much good music. I don’t really retain too many specific memories, so just a few observations. The February Winterland…
