  • Clio’s Garcia

    “More and different” pithily summarizes what Garcia was pursuing in his Side Trips relative to what he got out of the Grateful Dead. Here are a few snapshots of some over-time trends I find illuminating. “More”: this is a calendar view of Garcia’s out of state tours with the Dead (pink) and his side bands…

  • NRPS 12/15/73 Winterland w/ guests

    Uhhh, wow. The amazing NRPS archivist Rob Bleetstein not only responded to my query about the source for the NRPS official concert history listing that shows Garcia (guitar) and Sandy Rothman (banjo) sitting in with the New Riders on “Glendale Train”, 12/15/73 at Winterland (see also Corry). I say, he not only responded to my…

  • Jerry Garcia and David Bromberg, June 1972

    David Bromberg played the Boarding House, 960 Bush Street (San Francisco, CA,94109) June 13-17, 1972. Robert Dunn wrote a nice review in Night Times. This drew my eye because I recalled that Jerry recorded tracks for Demon in Disguise around this time. Indeed, he did: Table xxx. Jerry Garcia and David Bromberg: Demon in Disguise…

  • 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…

  • Odes to Joy: Aunt Monk at the Generosity, May 9, 1975

    LN jg1975-05-09.aunt-monk.84mins.aud-castelli-motb-0144.107829.flac1644 For a couple of years, the good people at Mouth of the Beast (MOTB) were dropping some ridiculously great and important listening material on the masses. Most important, from the perspective of Garcia on the Side (GOTS) were the Robert Castelli tapes, a handful of recordings made by the gentleman of that name…

  • Aunt Monk: June 1, 1975, Inn of the Beginning, Cotati, CA

    May 1975 Inn of the Beginning calendar, courtesy Mark Braunstein What a great piece of art, first of all. I am afraid I neglected to note the name of the artist/artists on the IOTB fliers. Mea culpa! Anyway, bottom right tells me that on Sunday, June 1, 1975, Jerry Garcia played with Aunt Monk (comprising…

  • Merl Saunders and Friends: May 31 – June 1, 1974, Inn of the Beginning, Cotati

    Here is one of the tantalizing little performances that you come across and really, really want to know more about, while understanding how miraculous it is that you are able to know anything about it at all. The Inn of theBeginning in Cotati hosted Merl Saunders and Friends, including Jerry Garcia, with Paul Pena opening,…

  • Jerry Garcia and Friends: March 25, 1972, Academy of Music, New York, NY

    https://jerrybase.com/events/19720325-03 Bo Diddley, Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir: Saturday, March 25, 1972, Hells Angels Benefit at the Academy of Music, New York, NY. I sure feel inept not knowing more about this venue. I assume it’s the one at 126 14th Street, New York, NY? I am basing that on this random bit of info…

  • 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.…
