Another Mystery Trumpeter: JGMS, August 14, 1974
There’s a trumpeter playing on “Roadrunner”, the last song of set I of the show previously known as “August 15, 1974, Great American Music Hall”, now corrected as 8/14/74. Listen to the first five minutes of the Falanga-Menke tape. Guy (presumably) is pretty good.

NRPS 19710121 Freeborn Hall, UC Davis, Davis, CA
My questions about whether the NRPS played the January 1971 out-of-town GD shows in Davis (1/21/71), Eugene (1/22/71) and Seattle (1/24/71) , and my conjecture that maybe they just stayed at Heider’s, are at least partly answered and stand at least partly wrong. California Aggie, January 25, 1971, p. 8; photos by Jim Quigley. Here’s…

Righteousness, and Two Guests: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, February 16, 1974
LN jg1974-02-16.jgms.all.sbd-alligator.91471.flac1644 A few days ago I posted about an advertised but canceled Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders band gig (Kahn and Kreutzmann rounding things out) scheduled for 2/16/74 at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. I irresponsibly dropped a few notes about the replacement show for the night, and here I follow up on…

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…

19740712: Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders: Friday, July 12, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley, CA. There is a second guitarist on this show. I am concluding it’s David Nelson, but I am really uncertain.
