  • Nothing to Write Home About on a Charlie Miller Birthday Show

    LN jg1981-11-03.jgb.all.aud-composite.138177.flac1644 November 3rd is Charlie Miller’s birthday, among other people. Now you know. This ’81 show has a good DLG, some interesting playing in Dear Prudence, but didn’t light me up. Maybe it’s because the tapes just aren’t that great. I also listened to DLG via the set II matrix (shnid-138159), and it was…

  • The Dates of All of the Tracks on the Late-Era Arista JGB Releases

    Internaut jmoleton posted sometime back a more or less complete set of dates for the 1990s-2000s official JGB releases, Jerry Garcia Band (1991), How Sweet It Is (1997), and Shining Star (2001), over at the Workingman’s Tracker. I have appropriated jmoleton’s info, asked commenter Nick to check a few things, verified a few things myself,…

  • The Penultimate Garcia Band Show

    LN jg1995-04-22.jgb.all.aud-km54.137833.flac1648 Not a ton jumps out at me, though the “Mission In The Rain” has a nice feel, and “My Sisters And Brothers” takes on some country flavor.

  • Swan Song for JGB #15c: Philly, June 5, 1983

    LN jg1983-06-05.jgb.early-late.aud-nak300-minches.76973.flac1644 LN jg1983-06-05.jgb.early-late.aud-peters.138199.flac1644 I consider 5/31/83 at the Roseland Ballroom to be one of the best Garcia Band shows of the 1980s. Six days later, this band, featuring the great and powerful Greg Errico on drums, would play its final two shows at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA. Surprisingly, only two tapes…

  • A JGB drum solo by Bill Kreutzmann – Cape Cod Coliseum, June 18, 1982

    LN jg1982-06-18.jgb.all.aud-craigl.138576.flac1644 For about a minute-twenty in “Don’t Let Go,” Billy K. solos. It’s a little surreal. I have historically loved this show, but nothing much jumps out at me on this listen.

  • Body … Bent and Broken

    LN jg1994-09-10.jgb.all.aud-vasseur.23791.shn2flac Man, these late era shows are really changing my understanding of Old Garcia. I have been saying it in these recent posts: his lacks lung-power, his voice is weak, his muscles are atrophied and his wrists are sore. He is prone to forgetting lyrics. These physical limitations dictate his vocal and instrumental approaches.…

  • The Garcia Band’s Last Gig (and list of contemporary late-era posts)

    I have finally been dipping my toe into late-period JGB, let’s call it the Donny Baldwin era, JGB #23. See: 9/1/94: I came for the Johnny Too Bad, I Stayed for the Don’t Let Go 9/2/94: Lots to Like About This Old Jerry 9/10/94: Oh My Body | Is Bent and Broken 11/11/94: Simple Twist…

  • Good, Clean Fun – JGB at the Onondoga County War Memorial, Syracuse, NY, November 14, 1993

    LN jg1993-11-14.jgb.all.aud-SchoepsMK4.137896.flac1644 JGB plays two strong hour-plus sets on the November ’93 tour. I love Señor, and he gets most of the lyrics on this version.”The Maker” is nice and concise, and I swear I heard a little “Mountain Jam” in there. Anyway, good, clean fun for your twenty-two-and-a-half 1993 dollars. Jerry Garcia Band Onondaga…
