new snow on top of freezing rain and fog and really poor visibility, just a disaster of a night for travelin’, but we didn’t wanna miss the show
This ticket stub is an awesome piece of memorabilia – attendee wrote the names of all of his show-going companions. Here are his recollections, posted from Lossless Legs (12/16/2013): I vaguely recall the weather bein’ a combination of new snow on top of freezing rain and fog and really poor visibility, just a disaster of…

Really nice tape, an excellent version of “When I Paint My Masterpiece” , two negative show reviews and one a participant observation study of Deadheaddom, Long Island style, February 1980.

Reading Notes: Jon Sievert’s 1978 Guitar Player interview with Jerry Garcia
Man, this is such a great interview. Sievert always connected well with Jerry. These are my “reading notes”, which just means that I am drawing quotes and dropping them back into context. So, for example, some of the pedal steel talk below has been pasted back into my materials on the pedal steel guitar and…

Rockabilly JGB Doing Not Fade Away: July 9, 1977
LN jg1977-07-09.jgb.late-2.aud-strange-miller.124426.flac1644 Not a whole ton to say, not a ton of time, so I’ll just bullet. Donna is absent. I wonder why? I need to document her 1977 absences, because there was a good number. “Not Fade Away” is a JGB singleton, and is very interesting. Jerry is super-fired up for it and does…

JGB at Queens College, October 30, 1975
LN jg1975-10-30.jgb.all.aud-cooper.124251.flac2496 Have barely had time to write a word about the Hopkins-era JGB these last 4+ years of blogging and hiatuses. That remains true, so the writeup will be short. Bottom line is that I think Nicky sounds really good (i.e., reasonably sober). I sort of figure that the day off the day before…

Wow. Earliest known JGB video. Wonderful. Hopefully there’s more video from the Cap yet to emerge! Thanks to whomever unearthed and shared this. Great, great stuff.
