  • 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…

  • GD at Carousel, May-June 1968

    Since I am on the subject, the ad below (published 5/30/68) lists the GD at Carousel on Friday May 31, Saturday June 1, and Sunday June 2, 1968. The Chicken lists Thursday (5/30) through Saturday (6/1). Sorry if this has all been gone over, but I don’t see any notes in my own files on…

  • GD April 5, 1968 (Friday), Carousel – never happened

    Updated: the SFC Datebook of April 5, 1968 (p. 47) shows John Lee Hooker, Loading Zone, Mother Earth. Given the two conflicting pieces of print, I’ll prefer the later-published one (SFC) to the earlier-published one (Express Times issue of ca. 4/3/68) (lex posterior derogat priori). Corry’s tour itinerary shows an open Friday night for GD/Garcia…

  • Garcia Talks Locally, Fall 1972

    Staska, Kathie, and George Mangrum. 1972. Rock Talk by KG: Jerry Garcia discusses Grateful Dead, albums. Hayward Daily Review, October 12, 1972, p. 42. It’s a marvel to study Garcia interviews over the years in all kinds of ways. The man could talk as knowledgeably, engagingly, expansively, and articulately as he played the guitar, which…

  • Fun With Ngrams: Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia, 1965-1995

    Here’s the bigram relevant to evaluating some hypotheses I ventured in my“Garcia and Marley” post.  Figure xxx. Google Bigram: “Grateful Dead” and “Jerry Garcia”, 1965-1995 In that post, I hypothesized that “Jerry Garcia” and “Grateful Dead” would show an uptick 1986. On visual inspection the GD claim looks rightish: the 1986-1995 slope should be statistically…

  • Summer 1995

    Just found a nice post based on some very careful and knowledgeable listening. I won’t always wallow so much in the dark stuff, but it’s there, too. This is just a marker. http://moderndeadhead.blogspot.com/2011/04/grateful-dead-summer-1995.html

    Paul Liberatore has a good review in the I-J. Looking forward to checking this one out.

  • 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…

  • A Pigless Monster at the Fillmore East: July 12, 1970

    LN jg1970-07-12.nrps-gd.aud-cooper.122707.flac1644 More old listening notes. The “Not Fade Away” and “Good Lovin’” from the electric Dead set feature absolutely top shelf rock and roll playing. Look at how I go off on this stuff wow wow wow wow wow and all that. If this tape sounded better, this’d be in the canon with 5/2/70.…
