  • Just Play

    Going through some scratched up old CDs, I found a copy of the Crosby, Stills and Nash release Carry On (Atlantic 7567804872, 2006). Entering some dates to trace Croz’s whereabouts in the various periods in which he frequented the Garciaverse (most intensely, fall 1969-fall 1971 and again March-September 1975), I am reminded that Crosby, Stills,…

  • JGB 9/15/76 S.S. Duchess, New York City Harbor, New York, NY

    The relationship between the Grateful Dead and the Hells Angels has been pretty well discussed, though I am sure there’s tons more to say. That’s for others to do. Here I’ll just note that Garcia also worked with the Angels outside the GD framework. I have made a few posts with Hells Angels content. I…

    If there were more time, I’d like to talk about “Who Was John?”, elaborate on the racial structure of the music, the unevenness of this period (March-April 1976).  But there’s not time, so just a data dump.

    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…
