One of the Great Interviews of the Garciaverse
jg1978-03-11.interview.45mins.fm-gefen-goodbear.retracked.shn2flac Remember, I am on hiatus until at least March 2013. Having taken this opportunity to remind you of this, as a PSA, let me also leave you something to read. This is truly one of the great, hilarious interviews in the Garciaverse, chock full of great stuff. Jerry Garcia Band Interview (by Andy Gefen)…

On hiatus until ca. March 2013
But, in the meantime … Some years ago, I posted about the Grateful Dead gig on Friday, May 16, 1969 in the gymnasium of Campolindo High School, 300 Moraga Rd., Moraga, CA, 94556. I posted a wild-sounding story about the gig which may contain some actual truth. There were comments and such. At some point…

Where Was the Grateful Dead on Sunday, August 24, 1969?
Here are the listings from the great San Francisco Express Times, vol. 2 no. 32 (August 21, 1969), p. unk. There’s lots of interest here, of course. But I have circled the item that interests me most greatly. It’s under the listings for Sunday, August 24, 1969, and reads as follows: Hippy Hill: Trans-Cultural Rip-Offs,…

Merl Saunders, October 19, 1970
Found this interesting. One thing I think we have learned is that, perhaps contrary to assumptions over the years, Garcia came home to the Bay Area whenever there were a few days between GD shows when they were on tour. At least, that’s how I read the evidence from ca. 1970. As a result, the…

Stirring It Up with E.W. Wainwright: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, March 9, 1974
LN jg1974-03-09.jgms.all-1.sbd-alligator.33750.flac1644 Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders (JGMS) Keystone 2119 University Avenue Berkeley, CA 94704 March 9, 1974 (Saturday) The recent slow pace of posting is exceeded by the even slower pace of my listening. I have been able to do very little for quite some time. I did manage to sneak in some notes…

GD: August 30, 1970, “Calebration”
I always loved the “Calebration” thing dated 8/30/70. My favorite Candyman, a really great Easy Wind. There’s also video out and about that gives a very rare glimpse of the GD of this period (though, I do wonder if that QMS video has made it into the world?). But, I think the set we know…

New Riders of the Purple Sage and Acoustic Grateful Dead: Lion’s Share, San Anselmo, July 30-August 1, 1970
(This is an updated version of an earlier post, “GD/NRPS19700731-19700801: Lion’s Share, San Anselmo, CA, 4/20/2011.) Some time back, I reported listings for “New Riders of the Purple Sage & Grateful Dead, Lion’s Share, 9 pm” for both July 31, 1970 and August 1, 1970, in the calendar section of the Berkeley Tribe. Here’s the…

November 24, 1968: Jam with Jefferson Airplane, Grande Ballroom, Detroit, MI (POSSIBLE)
In connection with another post that is taking me a long time to finalize, I have been looking at the various crossings of Garcia and the Jefferson Airplane. Among the many sources I have been using is Scott Abbot’s JABase volume 3, available online at http://home.myfairpoint.net/srabbot/airplane/jabase.htm. There, I find a listing for the Airplane doing…

Reading Notes: Constanten, Tom. 1992. Between Rock and Hard Places: A Musical Autobiodyssey. Eugene, OR: Hulogosi Press.
update 20120107: how could I have missed LIA’s post “Constanten on Constanten”? Anyway, there it is, excellent as always. Spent some time with this, mostly trying to get some more anchoring around Tarot, which has become quite a productive discussion in comments to my post on a “Rubber Duck Mime Band and Jerry Garcia” billing…
