Eskimo Blue Day
Just found Garcia at Heider’s (SF) on May 27, 1969 with the Airplane (Grace, Paul, Spencer, Jorma – very vew times I have found all of the Jeffersons listed on the same sessions!). What’s interesting is that, as far as I know, Garcia is only known to have contributed (pedal steel) to “The Farm” on…

The Common: September 5-6-7 ish, 1969
Berkeley Tribe, August 8-14, 1969, p. 3. Regular readers will know that I have been chasing the idea of “Jerry and the Jeffersons” in my head for a good long while. It narrates the arc of Garcia’s life as a process of gradual privatization. I started it years ago, have picked it up and put…

Jack and Jorma – Matrix – July 22, 1969 (Tuesday)
Sometimes to contemplate a piece of data requires going at least one degree of separation back. Here’s a case in point: I was listening to Garcia play the “3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds Jam” [a.k.a. “Turnaround, per the 6/28/69 official release] with Jack Casady. And I want to know how this version relates…

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…

a few more Surrealistic Pillow tidbits
LIA did a great post on Garcia on Surrealistic Pillow, partly in response to the little tidbit I posted about. I love how fully many of my fellow, GD/JG scholar-bloggers are able to develop thoughts and evidence in this medium. It is much harder than I would have thought, but of course very, very enjoyable.…

Garcia on Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow
Was just pointed to this early 1967 interview (audio only) with Garcia posted at youtube. Not sure I had heard it before, but I think it contains a tidbit or two that are not pinned down yet regarding Garcia’s contributions to the Jefferson Airplane blockbuster Surrealistic Pillow. So this is sort of of a piece…
