LN19690219 High Country “2/19/69” Matrix, San Francisco, CA
LIA’s argument that the GD set circulating under the date of 6/19/68 is actually the 2/19/69 GD show is totally persuasive to me. Of course that probably implies that the 2/19/69 dating of the High Country set from the Matrix, with Garcia and Nelson joining Butch Waller and Rich Wilbur, is probably mis-dated. (A Wednesday…

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…

The John Rich Question: Reply to Corry
Bravo, Corry! The John Rich Question is indeed a great mystery.See Corry’s post for the details of the question. I am sure I’ll have to update this post several times, but I wanted to take the second I have available to get started with a reply. I love this mystery. I agree with Corry that…

Garcia, Gravenites, Jules Broussard: ca. 1973, San Quentin Prison
**update: I have it in my mind that this never happened. I spoke with Nick the Greek once and seem to have come away with that idea** On 4/29/90, Garcia sat in with “Nick Gravenites and Animal Mind” for a Brian Wilson Defense Fund Benefit at the South of Market Cultural Center in San Francisco.…

Garcia on Stephen Stills albums
Matt Scofield’s discography, at http://www.deaddisc.com/, is one of those incredible community resources that I have vowed never to take for granted. It’s amazing, obviously a labor of love, and it contains a wealth of information about the GD, Garcia, and lots of the related and contemporaneous acts, venues, albums and individuals of interest. Here I’ll…

Jerry sitting in with Big Brother, October 1966: which date?
Lost Live Dead posted about a Garcia sit-in with Big Brother and the Holding Company on October 15, 1966. Based on the context of an account in Mojo Navigator no. 9 (October 17, 1966), I am going to argue that this is incorrect. According to MN, this all happened on a Sunday, while 10/15 was…

Wally Heider’s, July 1971
Of course, we already knew that Jerry was recording Garcia in July of 1971 (though I have never been able to find any precise dates, and Bob Mathews won’t answer my queries). We also already knew that Heider’s was absolutely happening. I keep hoping that someday Steve Silberman will write a book about the Planet…
