This is truly one of the great, hilarious interviews in the Garciaverse, chock full of great stuff. Jerry Garcia Band Interview (by Andy Gefen)…

Garcia’s Penultimate Sonoma County Gig, and a Great ‘Don’t Let Go’
LN jg1988-02-05.jgb.all.aud-CC.121594.flac2448 My favorite year of the canonical Jerry Garcia Band, i.e., what I mean when I say The Jerry Garcia Band, i.e., Garcia-Kahn-Seals-Kemper-Jones-LaBranch. Jerry’s penultimate show in Sonoma County. Top-three version of “Don’t Let Go“, along with the next night (2/6/88) and 5/19/89 in Irvine. some of my favorite Garcia music of all time.…

JGB at Northwestern: Cahn Auditorium, March 12, 1976 (late show)
LN jg1976-03-12.jgb.late.aud-unk.xxxxx.flac1644 My love of audience tapes is evident to anyone who reads here. The anthropological instinct (and practice) underpinning field recording enthralls me. To me, everybody who ever taped a gig is right there with Alan Lomax and all the rest. Now, sometimes you have to be willing to sacrifice your aesthetics a little…

JGB: June 23, 1977: Benefit Concert for the Survival of the Forest Community of Camp Meeker
On Thursday, June 23, 1977, Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) out-of-pattern early and late shows at Santa Rosa High School. High school gigs were pretty unusual for Garcia at any point (beyond early Grateful Dead), but by the late 1970s it almost always meant that there was some personal connection, somehow, to Garcia. For example, Garcia-Kahn…

If there were more time, I’d like to talk about “Who Was John?”, elaborate on the racial structure of the music, the unevenness of this period (March-April 1976). But there’s not time, so just a data dump. Jerry Garcia Band Cahn Auditorium, Northwestern University 600 Emerson StreetEvanston, IL 60201 March 12, 1976 (Friday) 55 minute…

JGB in Memphis, March 28, 1976
**updated** I made this post to ask about this show, which has always been shrouded in some mystery and confusion. It is listed, without comment, on the McNally-Arnold JG List. TJS has had a note, information of unknown provenance, that the show was canceled “due to an illness in the band.” I also had a…

List of John Scher – promoted concerts
Does anyone know a list of John Scher-promoted concerts? I thought, one day, while I’m at it, why don’t I systematically start coding in PROMOTERs? Yeah, that won’t take long! So, having more or less finished coding Jefferson Airplane through 1969, I have taken to coding promoters for them and all of the Garcia stuff,…
