  • What else, today?

    http://www.archive.org/details/gd67-11-10.sbd.sacks.1612.sbeok.shnf I love the Archive’s This Day in History feature. And on November 10, it’s ’67 that comes up first. This here is the fire-breathing psychedlic 12-armed beast version of the Grateful Dead. Play it loud!

  • Wales/Hooteroll influence on GD?

    All Hooteroll All The Time (AHATT) is an interesting idea that could be elevable to a core principle, i.e., to the effect that Hooteroll is “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last” (Revelations 22:13, King James Bible version). 🙂 I won’t go into that here. I will just reproduce…

  • NRPS 19710121 Freeborn Hall, UC Davis, Davis, CA

    My questions about whether the NRPS played the January 1971 out-of-town GD shows in Davis (1/21/71), Eugene (1/22/71) and Seattle (1/24/71) , and my conjecture that maybe they just stayed at Heider’s, are at least partly answered and stand at least partly wrong. California Aggie, January 25, 1971, p. 8; photos by Jim Quigley. Here’s…

    “Big Mama to aid in raising of the dead,” California Aggie, January 6, 1967, p. 5. Grateful Dead played at Freeborn Hall, UC Davis, Davis, CA on January 6, 1967. The above preview article is from that day’s California Aggie, p. 5. What intrigues me is the line that says that the last time they…

  • 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…

    Vegas is skeptical that I can do the NRPS-Matrix-1970 thing in seven posts, but I never claimed I’d do them consecutively. And, well, if I happen to cover related terrain, well, that’s just how it goes. And it just so happens that LIA’s post “The Hartbeats – July 1970” mentions some GD material that I’d…
