  • Emerge and See: Hunter Hosting Garcia at the Cellar Door – May 15, 1978 (DISCONFIRMED)

    update 20210526: this seems not to have happened. David Kramer-Smythe reached out to David Morgenstern, who was with Comfort at this time. He remembered this gig for other reasons, but said Garcia definitely did not join, and that, in fact, Garcia never sat in with Comfort. So this is one of those cases of ….…

  • Jerry Garcia playing bass behind Lightnin’ Hopkins: Fillmore Aud, 10/23/66

    In the Fillmore Poster Appreciation Society group page on Facebook, eyewitness comments under the poster for the Bill Graham shows on the weekend of 10/21-23-/66 indicate that Jerry Garcia played bass behind Lightnin’ Hopkins. I don’t think I knew that. Did you? This would be Jerry’s third non-GD performance within a week: 10/16/66 sit-in with…

  • UCSB ’78

    Corry has a post on the GD / Warren Zevon / Elvin Bishop / Wahkoo gig at UCSB on July 4, 1978. I have two followups, a tape beg and a tangential piece of metadata. First, does anyone have a copy of the Elvin Bishop set, with Jerry sitting in? Apparently there is an aud…

  • untitled 19750820b

    UPDATE: researcher David Kramer-Smyth spoke with Hadi al-Saadoon, who identified David Kessner as the composer. David Kessner confirms he wrote it, but is not sure if it had a name. Anyone know the funk-fusion instrumental that ends set I of 8/20/75, Keith and Donna Band at the Great American Music Hall, a week after the…

  • San Francisco Sessions, 1969

    update: changed title 20160319 San Francisco Sessions Series San Francisco Sessions, 1967-1968 San Francisco Sessions, 1969 San Francisco Sessions, 1970 San Francisco Sessions, 1971 San Francisco Sessions, 1972  Moving through the Garciaverse, I pick up lots of pieces that are more degrees of separation out from Jerry than I can ever have real occasion to…

  • 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…
