  • “the world’s most recorded musician in the world’s most famous arena”

    Jerrybase: https://jerrybase.com/events/19911115-01 The Red Light folks tagged GarciaLive 16 (MSG 11/15/91) with the subject line, and I have to say that it’s badass. That crew does a good job, IMO. I am not kissing up. It’s a hard job and they have released some amazing stuff. And that’s just a good line. Tip o’ the cap.…

  • JGB Spring ’93 SoCal

    Preface: JGB in SoCal Little springtime SoCal jaunts became a regular thing for JGB starting in 1983. (OK, that was very late winter, but March is generally pretty springy down there.) Some were one- or two-offs, others were a little more elaborate. Here’s a sketch. 1983: 3/11a and 3/11b in Santa Barbara; 3/12a and 3/12b,…

  • JGB at the Auditorium Music Hall, Memphis, TN, November 18, 1975 (CXL)

    JGB at the Auditorium Music Hall, Memphis, TN, November 18, 1975 (CXL)

    Here’s an ad from the Memphis Commercial Appeal billing Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) at the Auditorium Music Hall in Memphis, TN, November 18, 1975. Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN), November 2, 1975, p. 5 The show must have been canceled, because I have never seen other record of this *and* the Garcia Band played the Keystone Berkeley this…

  • Odd Pair at the Old Waldorf: JGB, Monday, January 11, 1982 and Wednesday, January 13, 1982

    LN jg1982-01-11.jgb.all.sbd-gmb.84012.flac1644 | LNjg1982-01-13.jgb.all.aud-GEMS.98706.flac1644 What a weird little pair of shows – an early year Monday-Wednesday pairing at the Old Waldorf. Also an interesting pair of tapes. The 11th is represented by one of the uber-clean early 80s soundboard cassette tapes, which the old rumor had it marched out of “official” possession powered by a Peruvian…

  • Jerry Band SoCal ’89

Starting in spring 1983, the band started doing what were called “tours” in-house, but were typically just a couple days, couple…

  • Nina Blackwood Interviews Jerry Garcia for MTV, ca. June 2, 1983

    Some classic lines here, like the studio as building a ship in a bottle and playing live like piloting a rowboat in the ocean. I wasn’t super careful about getting everything 100% perfect, especially not where there’s GD talk. I am not 100% certain about the geolocation, but it’s got to be about right. Jerry…

  • Killer Sugaree and final DDD: JGB at Country Club, Reseda, May 20, 1984

    LN jg1984-05-20.jgb.all.aud-nak300s.79553.flac1644 This Sugaree is in the running for hottest ever, especially in the 6-10 minute range. It opened shows a lot in the 75-77 period, a little less frequently by this time, and it would leave the JGB fold in ’86 to become GD only. But, for my money, the Jerry Band ones from this…

  • Unidentified Nicky Hopkins Instrumentals

    update: Mark Mattson has identified the number as “Lucky Old Sun” – wow! There may be others, but I am right now pondering two distinct instrumentals that Nicky does out of “Lady Sleeps” with the JGB in the last month or so of his run with the band. 11/23/75: about 1:38:30ff here –> https://ia600902.us.archive.org/9/items/jgb1975-11-23MackeyAuditoriumBoulderCO/jgb1975-11-23MackeyAuditoriumBoulderCO.mp3 He announces…

  • Did You Ever Notice the 9/18/81 JGB Rehearsal Has Jerry Playing Acoustic?

    The spine of Betty’s 9/18/81 JGB rehearsal tape box A beautiful piece of tape: Betty’s reel from the 9/18/81 JGB rehearsal I just revisited this little 20+ minute rehearsal fragment. Thank you Betty! This is the latest piece of Betty Board of interest to me: some of the abortive Brent solo album material came from…
