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…

Will The Circle Be Unbroken: The Dead and the Allmans, Sunday, May 10, 1970, Atlanta Sports Arena, Atlanta, GA
Grateful Dead Sports Arena 310 Chester Avenue, SE Atlanta, GA Sunday, May 10, 1970, 4 pm Mother’s Day As Corry has so often noted at Lost Live Dead, in 1970 the GD were still a hand-to-mouth band, touring hard. If we include NRPS gigs as separate, I do believe 1970 would be Garcia’s most prolific…

Reasonably Good Voice and Superb Guitar: JGB on the Russian River, May 31, 1982
jg1982-05-31.jgb.all.aud-GEMS.95427.flac1644 So, this show came up a few days ago as one at which Liz Stires and Julie Stafford were probably singing backing vocals. Part of an interesting occasional discussion on personnel issues in which the early 80s JGB backup singers and drummers have been the matter of some focus (see also here on the…

The River Theatre (Guerneville, CA) 1982 Liz and Julie Conundrum, Resolved
In my previous post on the JGB’s early 1980s drummers and backup singers, I grappled with the puzzle of the backup singers on 10/24/82 at the River Theater, 16135 Main Street, Guerneville, CA, 95446-8301: an eyewitness to the 10/24/82 River Theater (Guerneville, CA) show, which we know featured the return of female vocalists after the…

Listening Notes: GASB, Thursday, June 13, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley (Castelli MAC)
Having just posted on the sbd recording from this show, I’ll post my notes from the newly circulating audience recording by Robert Castelli (1644-shnid 110663, 2496-shnid 110798). I’ll start with a few analytical points, then produce my listening notes based on the 24/96 version. Not a ton to say about this, except that this is…

Listening Notes: GASB, Thursday, June 13, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley (sbd)
Low-gen soundboard tape of Thursday, 6/13/74, Keystone, Berkeley (shnid-13768). Note the listing as Great American String Band, though the naming issue is one I am avoiding for now. I’ll just go with GASB for this post. A few analytical points: The setlist issues have been clarified by the Castelli tape, notes on which I’ll post…

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…

JGB: December 31, 1975, Keystone, Berkeley: who was drumming?
update: we know now it was Greg Errico, with Hart sitting in in the third set, so enjoy this post as a waystation in the growth of knowledge. Jerrybase exists now! update: see also my “Jerry’s New Year’s Eve” post. I am not the big fan of the 12/31/75 JGB show that most people…

Garcia first solo album, tidbit
Not sure whatever became of this … am I missing something? The only Douglas Records release with Jerry that I know of is Hooteroll? I don’t recall any direct Commander Cody involvement with Jerry, on-stage or in-studio. File under “maybe was” or something like that, I guess.

OAITW: June 6, 1973, Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ
update 20230704: I can’t go back and revise this post 13 years later. It’ll show up in Fate Music, believe me. With a LOT more specifics on Tex Logan, Peter Rowan, Boston, John Scher, and so much more! Old and in the Way did a small east coast tour in June of 1973, the band’s…
